Out of the box, the triggers suck. Can be made a lot better, fairly easily if you can turn a wrench.

Folks I know that have them say they shoot very well

I am going tomorrow to put one in my hands. I thought about going 308 but I still have several boxes of 30-06 left. Wish I could lay my hands on an older model 7 in a 308.

Talk about a boner, I saw a Sako A7 in 270wsm with a Zeiss bench scope yesterday. I fondled it a whole lot, lol.

Mine had a good trigger, a little heavy but a clean break. Shot well and was very comparable to the Ruger American in bolt and stock feel.

I still have mine. Done some trigger work and put a Boyd’s thumbhole on it. That thing will shoot.

I sold mine because I don't keep any gun long that doesn't have sentimental value. I trade'em off for something different within a year or two. Truth is there are a lot of good guns out there and I'd like to try them all. Just can't afford to do it all at once.
