[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 3095343, member: 68542"] I have both. I love A-bolts for a variety of reasons, but the fit and finish of a sako is always nicer. For the price tag, that a bolt simply isn’t worth it. You can typically find a clean clean a bolt 1 or 2 for 500-700, although I’m sure the .375 caliber adds a premium to the price tag. Just not $1500 worth. If the sako is salvageable, go that route. If the a-bolt price drops to $1,000 then it’s worth changing tactics and going that way instead. I currently have a abolt 1, 3 abolt 2’s, a FN browning Safari, an HR ultra 300 (which is a sako l579 action) and a sako 85. The sakos are nicer, the actions feel better, the triggers are better out of the box. Accuracy is the same between all the rifles. Any load will shoot 1”, a tuned in load will keep around 1/2-3/4”. The FN browning doesn’t balance right, but the a bolt is one of the best naturally pointing rifles I own. It all comes down to preference on that aspect. [/QUOTE]
