The Sakos are not the cheapest of the lot but they sure are nice! Tikka is like the "Chevy" version of "GMC" or whatever brand you prefer to insert. I can tell you that I love how very smooth the action is on my Tikka and the fact that it comes with a MOA shot guarantee right out of the box is a pretty Sweet deal, couple that with the fact that they cost less than most of the other brands, except for Weatherby who is having a sale on the Vanguard line right now for $399 per rifle, and you get a GREAT rifle at a GREAT cost that is super accurate!
