Default Two different rifles

I have owned a finnlight in 6.5x55

Pros:

Silky smooth action
Relatively lightweight
Very "ergo", easy to carry and shoulder

Cons:

Issue ejecting spend rounds using low or extra low opitlocks (hit the scope tube and fall back in)
Rubbery stock as someone mentioned
Expensive for what you get (as pervious poster mentioned, a tikka would most likely suffice for half the price)

I currently own an X2 in 280ai

Pros:

Love the stock
3 position safety
Hinged floor plate
Decent fit and finish
Heavier but I find easier to shoot
Ejects spent rounds with gusto
Can use extra low talley's with no issues

Cons:

Heavier
Action rougher than the sako
If paired with a heavier scope could be a bit of nuisance to pack around all day
