So that makes sako more of a lifelong rifle.
But I also heard when Beretta bought out sako, the quality went downhill. There are some reports of the barrel exploding on some newer models.

Keep in mind though, this is only internet research.

I too was looking at getting a sako but think im going to look elsewhere.
The barrel issue is old news and was dealt with along time ago...I am not sure the quality went down, if so it still is way above any other rifle put out by a large scale manufacture.
