    Have a sako 75 myself in 223 and 243 great rifles-think about a fast twist in the 223 like a 1;8 in case you ever decide to shoot targets-youll still be able to use the lighter bullets too, my buddy uses a sako 85 in 22-250, its a real tack driver.;)

    The Savage Arms stuff seems to be very good quality too. The money's not outlandish either. Have to say, was poking around their site a while back and there were a lot of nice rifles. The Sako's look fantastic too.

    if my memory serves me right it was around 1600 euro, ring your gun dealer for best price;)

    The Tikka T3 Tactical would be a good one if your gonna spend that sort of money, comes factory threaded, adjustable cheek plate, picatinny rails and some, a couple of lads on here have one, I have the T3 lite which suits me better as i walk alot and wont be shooting targets.
