Weatherby mark v accumark or sako 85 hunter?

[Tjv28]

Which would you choose? Thinking .30 caliber.

Deer ? Elk ? Long range or close ?  If going 300 I would really look at the 300 wsm Browning Xbolt.  Very compact handy rifle that packs a pop.  If you need more than that I would look at jumping to a 338.  The Mark 5 is a stout gun - may as well shoot something with authority in it.  The 338 kicks no more than the 300 imo having shot both forever in weatherbys.  Sako's are nice though.

Ya that, I have had a Weatherby Mark V in 7mm, great rifle.
I now Own a Sako 85 Finlight in 300 WM.
If I had to choose I would take the Sako.
Both are good rifles.

Sako, no contest

With out getting into a pissing contest I totally agree with this.  My wifes Finnlight is twice the rifle that the weatherby was it replaced.  I love my Kimber but am totally jealous of my wifes rifle.

I have two Sako finbears, a .338 and a7mm mag.
Both 1971 models.
The triggers, feel, accuracy, confidence are outstanding.
Like Filson's motto states,
"Might as well have the best".
A buddy has an 85 which is pretty sweet, but he still prefers
My rifles.
Sako any day.

I've never had a sako but they are on my short list for future purchases. I had an accurate in a 7 mm wthrby is was very accurate. But I sold it after hunting season because it was so heavy to pack around all day.

I used to have a Stainless Weatherby MKV in .300 WBY. PUT A BRAKE on it if you go that route...It was fine with the brake, noise aside. Without the brake she kicked like a mule.

Sako, unless you're a LR hunter - then the Wby.

I own both types of guns, both are good guns, I like the feel of the weatherby better, just a personal preference, both are great guns
