[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1613613, member: 31264"] I agree with Omar, the Sako 85 is pretty darn slick feeling. The three lugs and guiding rail make it slide like greased lightning. The only problem with the Sako is their hit and miss bedding. About half the Sakos I've seen shot quite well. But some don't. Unfortunately, I have not had too much success at making them shoot when they don't. IMHO, the bedding method they use sucks. And my guess is that bedding is the problem because I can usually make significant improvements just by playing with the action screw torque. I also like the way the Browning XBolts feel. They also have three lugs and use these plastic buttons on the bolt to improve the feel - it works! But again, they don't always shoot well and fixing them is no piece of cake when they don't. If you have the coin (under 5k for a really nice one) consider a Cooper. They feel pretty darn good, almost all of them shoot out of the box, and fixing them if they don't is not all that hard. Many of the custom actions feel awesome too. And they ALL SHOOT! I particularly like the Pierce and the Defiance. Neither one feels as nice as a Sako, but they both feel pretty darn good! Best of all, they will both shoot rings around any Sako I've ever laid my hands on. [/QUOTE]
