I’m not sure what the hype is with Sako. I’ve owned one, it didn’t shoot great. My buddy has owned several and they didn’t shoot great. I’ve yet to see a Sako shoot groups as small as what most Tikkas will.
Yes Tikkas are getting pricey, but what isn’t.. they just plain work.

You like the "feel" of the Tikka synthetic stock? Might be the first time I've heard that to be honest. The T3 stock was abysmal. The T3x is only marginally better but at least it doesnt sound like a paddle hitting the side of an aluminum boat when you walk in the bush anymore. Do you like the plastic mags, trigger guards, and bolt shrouds too?
At $1700.00 I'm sure the veil shoots great likes most Tikkas, but most $1700.00 rifles do.
