[QUOTE="lewwetzel, post: 1191409, member: 21496"] Keep in mind the A7 is at the "low rent" end of the Sako line. Mine had the following issues: rounds sometimes would not eject, ammo popped between detachable mag lips, barrel channel needed sanding; most aggravating problem was a hair-tearing accuracy issue that I finally traced to the crappy pair of Weaver-type scope bases that come with these rifles. I've not shot the Weatherby model you speak of. Have handled one enough to make me seriously think of trading my Sako for it, though; just wasn't the chambering (.240) I wanted to tackle at the time. Only if you were comparing that Weatherby to say, at least a 75/85 series Sako, would I recommend going with with the Finn-built rifle. [/QUOTE]
