All positive. 6.5x55 is a fantastic calibre, well suited to NZ shooting conditions. It was one of the first I learnt to shoot with after the 22LR. Very forgiving with recoil that is manageable. Great potential when handloading as well. I cannot comment on Sako having never had the pleasure of using one but their reputation is that Tikka are what you buy when you cannot afford a Sako so I figure they are pretty good.
