Well, the trigger in "regular" mode on the SAKO isn't quite as clean as the Steyr, but, the SAKO also has the singe set, which is beautiful. The weight difference is quite dramatic. And the SAKO is a noticeably larger firearm At the range, the recoil is too close to call- the SAKO being a magnum (7mm) with the weight, and the SM at 30.06 as a light weight. Both guns recoil in such a fashion that i find it very easy to keep my FOV on target at long ranges-- much easier than my other rifles.
I am waiting to mount my Conquest on a used Sauer 202 I just bought (also in 30.06). I'll post a true comparison of all three. Fit and finish is impeccable on all three -- ( i had read somewhere that the Sauers had spotty checkering, but mine is fantastic. I will say that the finish on the SAKO feels more like a real euro oil finish, with a very flat, almost bare wood look. Its bluing is more authentic looking as well, whereas the other 2 have bluing that is more like a coating. All three bolts are GLASS smooth. Both of the germans break down into really cool looking components.
Personally, I like the lighter wood on kiki231's Luxus much more. Nice rig you got there. Now how on earth are going to hide that from the wife?
I confused her with big words and dramatic movements. That and i had to sell some crap....
