Rifle

Cooper, H.S. Precision, kimber, or have something built. H.S. Precision would be my 1st choice basically hand built blueprinted and balanced action ,High quality all the way .

how are the sako 85's

Like all Sakos, fit and function are perfect, shoot excellent, smooth bolt and crisp trigger, and a joy to carry...

One here in 7mm-08 waiting for you...

Sako A7 is cheaper, but I still prefer the 85...

Sakos are well made rifles that are normally quite accurate.The only thing that I don't like about the Sako 85 is the synthetic stock.It seems cheap in comparison to the 75 synthetic stock.

85 is a fine rifle, however, if you are paying that much, i'd just get a Cooper-its a whole different level of fit/finish/accuracy.

They have a new synthetic stock now for the 85's, but not sure if any are in Canada yet...Called the Finnlight ST...

I would say a Sako 85, Sako A7, or a Tikka T3 in that order. Is your limit with or without glass? With glass go with Tikka with optilocks and maybe a VXIII. If without go with the Sako 85.

One thing I have learned is NOT to go cheap on the glass or rings/bases.

Rifle

Why would you want a Production rifle when talking about spending $2000.00 Sako is still a Production rifle and over priced at that.

Not going to get into an HS for $2 grand, many of the newer Kimbers have been hit and miss for accuracy, not much from Cooper for 2K either. Sako might be you best bet. FS

My next rifle Purchase is a New Winchester Model 70. With your cash You could buy that rifle, scope and rings, The new model 70 sure is sweet. I think it is worth a look

For $2k, I'd buy Blargon's 700 DM and get it rebarreled in 7/08 and stock it in a McMillan.

Our Coopers in the Jackson hunter and classic in the M52 sell for just under the $2000 mark.

I have a Sako 85 in grey wolf laminate topped off with a swaro scope. It is my go to rifle. Acurate as they claim, next time I would consider a finlight.

Hate the child-proof clips on the 85/A7. Love my T3... you could by two! (with Warne Rings and Limbsaver FTW!)
