Will be used for shooting deer on farms and targets not carrying around the bush

Anyone would be extremely lucky to have that as their rifle. With youth type loads the recoil won’t become a problem and it will still kill like gods hammer

when she reads old Philip Holden books she will think Dad is the Man for buying her a sako instead of a soulless Tikka

Sako for first Rifle? Do you want to Adopt me

A very small annoyance to me in regards to Sako’s was always the tapered dovetail mounting system.
Very good rings etc are available to accommodate that setup , but when a manufacturer uses a proprietary type mount ( Ruger is another ) it puts me off a bit .
Stupid reason to be hesitant and unwilling to purchase I know , but for some reason it is a consideration that goes through my mind .
Tikka’s “ one sized action to rule them all “ is another thorn in my sock, but for some reason I can live with it easier.
For full disclosure - I own four Tikka’s and no Sako’s

Sako all day Buzz. I’ve got quite a useful 260 carbonlight. Remember it?

another vote for sako, i hate with a passion the tikka magazines.

I hope one day long after I'm gone my boy remembers his old man when he picks up the sako I've given him.

Robot reliable accuracy off a Tikka. Have a 75. "Nicest" stock ever made but thankfully not in wood.

Thankfully they have finally changed it with the 90

How come the budget setup Brads?

Buy the tikka too. Win win.

Personally, I prefer the stock shape of the T3 and T3x to Sakos. The thinner pistol grip suits me better.
@MD. My Tikkas are definitely not "soulless". Both are personalized and very charismatic.

The rubber Sako use for recoil pads seems to intensify, not reduce, the recoil.

I like the Sako stock for of hand shooting - prone, not so much.

I'd prefer a Tikka.

Have you thought of asking her?
