    What about Shultz and Larsen? They look mint. Very glossy finish (doubt it'll rust easily), and they seem to be very well made and super accurate going by reviews...

    Shultz and Larsen would be my pick. Action like silk.

    Given your wish list & a $5k budget I’d go for a custom build on CF stock. You’ll get what u want and should have change left over ��
    Sako should have stuck with the 75.

    Or, get a rifle built for you then you can get everything YOU want in a rifle, not just a rifle designed for the masses

    I note you said great customer service ? If so don,t by Sako or Tikka as both are part of Beretta, who,s customer service and ability to supply parts for rifles and shotguns has a lot to be desired.

    I've had to deal with Beretta once when I had my last Sako - to my amusement, I had to go through Hunting and Fishing in order to communicate with Beretta, which is basically like adding shit to a shit sandwich...
