So you can buy a rifle that's $500 less than a tikka and will do everything it will do ...... HOWA. It may not have a barrel made in the Sako factory but I am yet to shoot a HOWA that doesn't shoot better than I can!. As Dougie said ; what fits you.

I would start with a model "anything cheap" because if its your first hunting rifle then if you are anything like me you will soon see something else you think would be more betterer and once you get that on the storey will go

You could put your kahles on this
Rifles : Zastava Sporting, M85
Keep saving in the mean time for your Sako, you will only lose 300 when the time comes and have more than that in hunting experience
Don't give the sako dream away, just manage it.Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Whats up with this buy the cheapest bit of shit you can coz its your first?? Nah bro if you want a Sako 75 or 85 just get one of those, When I brought my first rifle I got talked into getting something I didn't really want and sold it after not having it long. Found a nice 75 2nd hand and I still have it 12yrs later. Cheers for the plug @223nut but the A7 is a Tikka really haha.

More of a calibre thing really, most guys use one for a while when they start out before switching to something else, a problem that is easily solved by just buying a 270 to start with.

I guess you don't feel the need to try anything different when you've already given up on life? Originally Posted by Ryan_Songhurst

I want to buy one rifle and be happy with it rather than buying one and deciding I don't like it and having to getting another.
I read that some 85s had a problem ejecting, is that still a problem or is it sorted now?Tommy likes this.
