Sako A7 or Remington 700

[pashok23]

Thinking to get a Sako A7 long range or Remington 700 long range
Which gun do you guys think should i get?

[MisplacedAlaskan]

I have a Rem 700 in .338 WM and Sako Finnlight in .300 WSM. I prefer the Sako, but the Rem 700 has been awesome too. The 700 is the is XCR model.

The A7 just may have the worst ammo clip ever designed by someone over the age of 12.  But other than that I do like factory Sako rifles more than factory Remington.

[tbrady]

I have both... I was diehard Remington until I got the Sako A7 (300 WSM).  Sako will be at the top of my list for any future rifle purchases.

In the short run I think you would be happier with the A7. in the long run, I think you would be happier with the 700.

I vote for the Remi 700 series. If the are good enough for the Marine Corps and Army Special Forces, then they are by far good enough for me.  R.I.P. Chris Kyle 


Even though I do not own either a Sako or Remi, my long range deer rifle is Winchester's answer to the Remi 700. I have a Winchester model 70 short action in .308 with a 26" heavy barrel. With a 10 power mil dot scope. I can hold a 6" group at 200 yards.

If leaving factory stock A7, if doing any custom work Rem 700. I gotta say I think the Browning Abolt has the worst magazine ever designed.

  so true!  I handled one of these in the store when we were looking for a new rifle and thought I was missing something.
