Yea that would work !!!  Prefer stainless but could settle on that.  I think I am waiting untill the next gun gunshow to hold, feel , fondle, stroke other makes/ models than what I have seen.  That would surely be a nice option,  Thank you . 

Carp ...  I took my digital scale and notes on the rifles I have found so far and nothing at the last show in Portland.  Every booth was checked and talked to the majority.  We will see at the 3 day show coming up.

No problem ghetto.

And yeah definately feel them in your hand first. a lot of sakos have nice palm swell which many people dont like(i love it) I'm not sure about their synthetic models though.

there are lots of sakos under a grad. this is the one i want

7lbs, adjustable trigger, and super accurate. not to mention 338 federal will down anything in north america with the kick of a 308.

When you buy a nicer rifle more technology(money) is put into ergonomics and fit making the rifle fit better therefor not kick so much and promote maximum accuracy from the shooter.

The Sako finnlight I held yesterday felt like it fit right in to me.  The Tikka was a nice feel , but nowhere the Finn.  $700 upgrade though???  We will see what the A7 feels like when I find one.
