    Sako v tikka

    Hi I’m in 2 minds about a sako, picked up a nice sako 75 308 for my daughter yesterday but wondering if I should have got her a tikka?

    I prefer the lighter weight and price of the Tikka.

    Tikkas are great buzz just as accurate as sako but a sako is something a lot nicer for ya daughter in my opinion
    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.

    Something about a Sako. They're just nicer I reckon.

    No more accurate. Their quality control and finish is 1st class.

    Never had any issues with a Sako.

    Is she going to be firing that many shots in a row to worry about that?
    Drop out mag is a great thing for promoting firearm safety with correct instruction.

    Nice condition, I find the 75 timber stocks too clubby in the hand. The 75 synthetic and tikka’s fit is better for a smaller person and better pistol grip for smaller hand, but still a nice outfit.

    That Sako is a lump of a gun for a starter, though it'll suck up the recoil with all that weight
