I am ready to buy another deer gun and would like to hear from those who owns or have shot Sako A7. What do you LIKE about it and how is accurate is this gun?

Thanks
 
I'm still working load development in mine, in 7mm Rem Mag....but I have found 1 load so far that shoots 3 touching @ 100 yds.

Very light. I'm used to heavy target rifles, I can hardly make it sit still on a front rest LOL.

Very easy to clean, barrel is very smooth inside.

Ive never handled one but what is the difference between them and a Tikka T3 Lite ?

Sako has steel feedlips in mag (plastic for Tikka), a 3 lug bolt (2 for Tikka). Iirc, I don't believe the bolt can by cycled with safety on in a Tikka, can in the Sako - I stand to be corrected on that point though. A7 comes with Weaver bases. Not sure if the Tikka trigger is externally (without removing action from stock) adjustable, for the Sako just stick an allen key into the magwell and twist for trigger weight adjustment. I'm sure I'm missing a point or 2 here.
 
I own a Tikka T3 Lite and have owned a number of Sakos including 75 and after reading the comparison using the link provided here, I would not hesitate to look carefully at the A7.

Three of the features that would attract my attention are:

1. Weaver type bases - much less expensive for rings

2. Able to unload the chamber with the safety on - big safety factor

3. Easily adjustable trigger pull.

The rest of features as compared to the Tikka would not be a big factor for me.

My Tikka T3 Lite in 300 WM is my favorite moose rifle but if I had to do it again, I would seriously consider the A7, with the difference in price and weight, big factors.
