[QUOTE="Dtex, post: 1190648, member: 95754"] I know there are a lot of forums out there comparing Weatherby and Sako rifles, but I have not found any threads comparing the two specific rifles I am looking at, so I thought maybe some of ya'll would have some experiences with one or both. I am debating between the Weatherby Vanguard Accuguard or the Sako A7 Roughtech Pro. Both rifles offer the caliber I want, .270 Win. Both guarantee Sub-MOA Both have stainless steel fluted barrels and textured composite stocks Both have ~24" barrels (Weatherby is 24", Sako is 24.4") Weight is very similar for both and is negligible for my intended use I can find the Weatherby for a little less than $900 out the door and the Sako for just under $1200 out the door. My question is that since they seem to offer relatively the same thing in a hunting rifle, is it worth the extra $300 to buy the Sako? Is it that much nicer or a better shooter to warrant the additional $300? Please keep in mind that I am looking for a nice hunting rifle and that this rifle will be my go-to rifle for pretty much any and all game in Texas that I can hunt (not including exotics) from 100-400yds, realistically (and I will mount a 3-10 scope on it as well). Any advice, recommendations, or experiences shared are much appreciated! Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
