    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?

    Well I started with a Sako 270 , Sold it and brought M700 a 25/06 mountain rifle, Sold that for a 7-08 long before they were the "Aucklander Special" Sold that for a Handgun, Sold that for another handgun, sold that for another handgun........................................... .....sold last handgun and brought a shotgun and a M700 in 6.5Saum.

    If I have know to just keep the original Sako I would have saved a fortune
