Thats why you install aluminum weaver knock-offs and bushnell banners on them....to match the quality of the T3's

Ok, that's the macho response we hear all the time.... and granted maybe some truth to it....but it doesn't take into account things like health/age issues, so it comes off a bit flippant. You're gonna get old too someday my friend!
But my original question was about the Grey Wolf in .308... I already have a light (7-08) sporter, and was thinking of adding a "nice" non-synthetic stocked hunting rifle in a similar caliber for moose. I also have a heavyish 300WM if I feel the need. The 85GW looked like something in between.
I think I should explain my prejudice for 'light' rifles. I once had a 30-06 husky mountain rifle that was given to me by a very dear friend. As you know it's a quality rifle and I was thankful for the gift however it was a very light gun without a recoil pad. This 'macho' guy (me) developed a flinch because of this set up - the combination of a decent 30 cal. with a light rifle wasn't a good combo for me which could explain my swing to smaller caliber rifles with heavier barrels of late.
Coincidentally, my same friend has a Sako Forester in 30-06 with a heavy barrel that comes up and shoots like a dream! It's a heavy bugger - certainly more than my 7-08 model 85, but I expect more weight with a heavier recoil rifle. To me, a heavier rifle especially in the barrel means more accuracy... There is a sweet spot there and going lighter isn't necessarily better in my opinion.
The Sako Greywolf is a striking, quality rifle and I considered before purchasing the hunter model - I am a wood slut, I admit it!
I have a grey wolf in 7mm rem mag with a Zeiss conquest. It is just the right weight for the calibre.Thinking of one of these in .308....
Worth it or no? Go with the 22" barrel?
Lets hear your opinions good and bad please
I also prefer a detachable mag on a stainless rifle.

I also had a Grey Wolf in .308. It was supremely accurate, balanced and a real looker. It was however not a "snap shooter" as I shoulder carried it most of the time. I switched to a 20" T3 Lite Battue in .308 . It is an excellent shooter and it is always ready. I had a few pesos left over but I sure do miss the Sako quality.
