[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 2745, member: 25"] Do you want to carry a Sendero elk hunting? Suggest a Sako 75 in .300 Win or .338 Win. Best out of the box accuracy - no loose stock bolts, triggers set about 3 lb and crisp, best operating detachable mags, nice fitting stocks, smooth action, sub minute of angle three shot groups with decent ammo - what else does a person need for a carrying rifle. Sako is Sako. Nothing wrong with Tikkas either, have seen some very good shooters but they ain't 75's. Bottom line is that any U.S. made rifle other than Weatherby is most likely going to take some tinkering to get it to shoot to its potential. There are exceptions but most need trigger work, bedding, decent stock bolts and other pains in the butt. Seems like Weatherby actually has final assembly people who can tighten a frigging stock bolt -plus their triggers are very decent. [/QUOTE]
