    Buy a tikka mate.
    I went sako a7, it's a brilliant rifle and is better than me but I've had a tikka and if I ever spend my hard earned again I will go tikka.

    What makes you prefer the tikka over the sako?

    I've also had a sako carbon light but now use a Tikka they both shoot the same the sako feels better but I could buy 4 Tikka for one carbon light.

    The price. The sako is great,and I'll never sell it . The a7 has 3 lugs on the bolt, a good magazine release system and the roughtech stock is pretty good. But the extra $1000ish would have been better put towards good glass. And parts for the a7 are sparse. Tikka rifles generally out perform alot of their owners.
