Browning X-Bolt or Sako A7?

[GRiNGo]

Time for my "last" new hunting rifle. I assume they are both accurate with nice triggers and a smooth bolt. But I keep flopping back and forth, I have 2 Tikkas and like them. What are the pluses and minuses of each?

Thanks.

This is no contest.................the Sako, by far!

Don't know how much actual help you'll get.
Browning fans tend to not think much of sako's;
Sako fans tend to be pretty fanatical about them.

I will say, (as a browning fan), that when sako's first came into the country I was shopping for a new a bolt. I took a look at the sako, but quite frankly at least at that time the fit and finish just didn't justify it being in the same price range of an a bolt. Haven't looked at one since though.

Also to be fair, I know nothing of the new x bolts, either.

I finally held a sako A7 yesterday. I was not impressed at all. It did not feel good. It felt cheap to me. I did not shoot it. Guys say they shoot good. The stock had the hollow sound.

For me X-bolt all the way.
