Wich would you chose and why?

[TheCanuck]

You want a new varminting rifle. You want a fine varminting rifle. So you look at fin rifles. You narrow your choises down to the Sako grey wolf in 25-06( http://www.sako.fi/pdf/specs/75HunterLamStainless.pdf ) and the Tikka Super Varmint in the same caliber ( http://www.tikka.fi/pdf/specs/SuperVarmint.pdf ). Wich would you chose and why? They are roughly the same price.

Sako

I voted for the Sako, suits the type of hunting that I do and I like the look of it better. I walk and hunt, the Tikka seems like a sit and hunt gun. (After actually reading the Specs I see the Tikka isn't that much heavier, the Sako's still nicer IMHO )

Good choice in cartridge, you'll like the Quarter/06.

 

[Why not?]

I would get a used SAKO L61/Finnbear. It would be better than either the model 75 or the Tikka.

Personally, I'd go with the Sako (all things being equal) just because I've already got a Tikka & I've already got a heavy-barreled varmint gun.

I would also take the Sako. I have a burn that itches every once and a while, the wife says crabs, but I think it is just my fondness of Sako rifles

 

[BIGREDD]

I think they are both great choices and it would depend on how many rounds I would fire in a year and my style of hunting.

 

[BigUglyMan]

I'd still buy the Sako. I'm having a hard time warming to the Tikka.

 

[TheCanuck]

I'm not sure the sako has a detachable mag though, does that even weigh anything in the balance? The Tikka also has an adjustable cheek piece

 

[prosper]

Why buy a Sako jr when you can get the real thing?

Plus, I hate the tikka synth stocks

Why would the number of rounds you would fire in a year influence your choice?

Sako's are worth the extra $$$ to me.

If i compare prices, from the P&D Ent. website, a Super Varmint sells for 1570$(.223rem) while the greywolf sells for 1550$

 

[todbartell]

the poll results speak loud and clear

if you got the $$, go with the Sako

Sorry, just meant it as a general observation.

And I'm definitely biased towards the 75's. They just feel like the next best thing to custom made in my hands.

15-nil for the sako... we're on to something here...

 

[TheCanuck]

WON'T SOMEONE VOTE FOR THE TIKKA??? ARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH

Ok i'll admit to it, even i vote for the sako

 

[Ruger30-06]

Sako, they seem to be built beter.

Where is the "If it ain't a Remington I don't want it" option??

ooops, i guess the person that revised the options before i posted the poll must be the same person who does the QC at Remington arms
