Sako A7 or Remington 700

[packmule]

Agreed, hunting partner has the A7 and 2 clips.  Both of them will spew shells periodically when not in the rifle and have caused the gun to jam when in the rifle.  Took some pliers and discrete bending to make the workable.  It shoots great but the clips are a joke.  Go with the 700 and never look back.

700

If you are getting into long range, chances are you are going to mod the heck out of it.  The 700 will have more options from more aftermarket manufacturers and for me that alone is worth it.  Everybody and their brother will build for the 700.

Sako if you want a reliable shooter out of the box with resale value.
Rem if you want to triple the price to try to make it shoot like the Sako(Just like the military snipers!).
There is no comparison.

Remington 700, if your handloading pretty much any rifle will shoot well.

I've owned a dozen model 700's and currently have two A7's in my safe.  I much prefer the A7's.  Especially the ones with the soft touch stock.  Have one in a Sako classic McMillian with edge fill and a soft touch.  270, -06.

Easily the most accurate rifles' Ive ever owned...
