[QUOTE="BIG MO, post: 336032, member: 18994"] Yep, I was referring to the Sako A-7. That sucks you got a bad SAKO. You need to trade that turd in on something else. I had the opportunity to develope handloads for two A-7s. One in 270WSM and one in 300WSM. Holy cow did they shoot. Five rounds under an inch? No problem. It was like punching holes with a 12lbs .308 TAC rig. Overall, I was very impressed with the attributes of these rifles. Yea, the stock is nothing to write home about, but I found it pleasing. Again, I'm a big fan of the Weatherby, and the SUB-MOA is all the better with the sweet accu-stock with the tan and black spiderweb. Sportsmans Warehouse had one in 300WSM on sale for $589. I wanted to buy it, but I could not justify it because I already have a regular Vangard in 300WSM that is SUBMOA. However, at that price I was tempted to own two. I ended up buying another regular Vangard in 7mm Rem Mag. It had a factory target showing 9/10ths of an inch group with 150grain soft points. Tuned handloads pretty much cut that in half. As far as plastic budget stocks go, I like the Vangard stock. At $399, I feel like a thief leaving the gun counter with one. [/QUOTE]
