[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 17167, member: 25"] Sako, Here are a couple of interesting little points about the 75. Does your synthetic stock have a tiny gap in the rubber on the seam in the midpoint of the forend - virtually every Sako that I have seen has the little sucker. Also, if you take the action out of the stock you might find a tiny crack in the stock near the trigger recess - I was told that is a factory mould boo-boo and they all have it. Does not mean anything as it is not a stress point but it is there if you can find it. Other than those two minor things I have never found anything wrong with the 75, it is a great rifle. I have a .300 and a .338, and aside from a horse chewing on the rubber grip panel on the .300 they are in perfect shape after a lot of use. They are the most accurate and well assembled out of the box rifles that I have used, maybe a couple of Weatherbys give them a run but they are superb. Only real sour point I have is the stupid factory scope mounting system - I do not understand why they went away from their old rings that attached directly to the dovetails. If you want some really nice looking mounts for your 75 look at the Warnes, they are dandy. Like you I am a big fan of the 75, just thought you might find some of this interesting. I have stainless synthetics but got a spare mag in blue so I can put different ammo in it if I feel the need, can tell them apart that way. Do that sometime with a really tough bullet like the A-Frame vs the Hornady or whatever. [/QUOTE]
