    Chose between Sako or Tikka...

    I am considering buying a 9,3x62..

    Not in NZ or Aus, but I have an "offer" on two rifles that are sold at a discount.
    Tikka T3 Hunter
    Sako 85 Hunter

    I dont have photos of either.

    Both blued and walnut stock.
    Tikka without open sights
    Sako With open sights..

    So, I would use:
    Tikka: Optics and suppressor
    Sako: Ghost / peep sight, no suppressor



    Complete set up with optics and silencer:
    T3: 4080

    Complete set up with Ghost/peep sight, no silencer.
    85: 3260

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    You haven't stated what you want to do which will determine your choice, wooded areas or driven shooting Sako. Areas with multiple chances of game and where shots are past 100yds or so, Tikka. Both will shoot as good as each other, the Sako being a bit more refined.

    The T3 will boot you into next week because of the stock design, go with the Sako for that reason only.

    Do you want it as a dangerous/driven game rifle? No way I would choose an 85 action for that role with its record for piss poor ejection the tikka would be way more reliable

    257Weatherby: I have an take off Tikka Forest stock I can use and sell the factory stock.

    Ryan_Songhurst. The 85 wouldn't have much problem with ejection with open sighs I belive. All I have read is that it ejects brass into the scope.

    1000% the sako
    The tikka would be nice but it is the budget version of the sako in every way
