Im looking at getting either a synthetic sako a7 or wooden tikka t3 hunter in 7mm 08 both come to around $2000 with a $400 scope. Just wondering what you guys would recommend.

T3s are around 1200 bucks or is wooden stock dearer ?
The wooden stock is about $1600
The hunter has a fluted barrel VC not sure what else sets it apart.Quote:

Why wood on one and synthetic on the other option?
because i like wood but would be willing sacrifice if the a7 is a nice enough rifle
Tough call then.
The rifles are much of a muchnes but you can't top load the Tikka being the only real advantage of the A7 imho.
Can't get A7 in wood?
Would be good to try a 75 stock on an A7 action?
T3 with a boyds stock?
Speaking of tikka stocks the folding KRG is what i would like to get my mitts on!
A mate has put one on his TRG and it is a bit of gun sex.
They look another step up from those chassis that DED sell thats for sure!
Are you going to use a bipod? ive seen pics (on here?) of an A7 plastic stock breaking from using a bipod on it....so Im off A7s....

If you can try to spend a bit more on your optics as it would be a shame to have a sub standard scope on either of those rifles they are both very nice rifles.You cant go wrong with either but an average scope will disapoint you. just my 2 cents.Quote:
