    Factory is fine for Bush hunting, but if you want an all round rifle that can Bush hunt one day, then shoot something a kilometer away the next day...you'll probably be looking at a custom.

    A tricked out Remington will cost much the same as a new sako, but weigh much less and shoot better.


    Shot this group today, cold barrel, fisrt shot hit a touch high (by my index finger), so I dialed two clicks down... next three shots only about 2" apart, at just under 900y range. Last year I used the same rifle in the roar...shot a few stags at 5m to 20m...such a versatile rifle with 3-15 scope.


    I've owned plenty of sako's, tikka's etc...none of them can grouped like this rifle at longer range. But all of them were fine for bush hunting....but why not own a rifle that can do it all?
