[QUOTE="Fullboar, post: 929465, member: 78435"] I own 2 Sako's (TRG22 in 308 and an 85 Stainless Varmint in .260) as well as 5 Tikka T3's (2 x Stainless Varmints in .223 and .260, a Stainless Lite in .308, a Stainless Hunter in 6.5x55, a Sporter in .308 and I have a Stainless Hunter Fluted in .204 on order). Sako's and Tikka's are very popular here in Australia and for the money are hard to beat.

Tikka's Guarantee a 3 shot 1" group for the light weight barrels and a 5 shot 1" group for the heavy barreled Tikka's. The Sako has an accuracy guarantee of 5 shot 1" group for all their rifles.
