Do a side by side in a store one day and you will see the difference.  QC, fit, and finish for Sako is top of the line for a production rifle.

I like it. 300-400 yards is about the max for that scope. It’ll do fine on the west side.👍🏼

I looked at a lot of tikkas. I didn’t like the design of the receiver or the factory beretta made stock. The sako is IMO quite a bit nicer. But they carry a nice price tag also.  I can see another sako purchase in the near future 👍🏼

I have the same one.  The Roughtech stock is better than previous, and your Vortex is much better than my low end scope, but otherwise the same.  Watch the magazine, make sure it "catches" when inserted.  $80 is a lot to replace one, don't ask me further....

Very nice gun.  I wasn't sold on the fluted barrel for a hunting rifle, but they sure are pretty.

I owned the same rifle in a 7MM Mag.  Tikka shot more accurate and was a lot cheaper.  Let me know if you break your stock or want a 7mm mag barrel for that rifle.  I have both sitting in the shed!
