Thread: First hunting rifle

I wouldn't, but can understand your concern for a first rifle, there is tens of thousands of 85 model Sakos, in current use, around the world, most like them, if your worried, about the scope and brass, you can flip the scope, so windage adjustment is on top and side on the right, looks a bit goofie thought.
Model 70 win, and the higher end rem M700 ie (BDL, or CDL) are very good options, for working rifles, Lots like there tikka's, I aren't a Fan, have had a dud,
I would much rater a M70 as I like the featherweight stock, steel, no plastic, and a effen big claw extractor.
