Correct answer is a Sako in the caliber you like. I’ve got an A2 .22-250, Forester .243 and .308, AV 270 and Finnbear .30-‘06. Also a Finnbear in .338 Win Mag. I’d buy another today if I found a Deluxe with the nicer stock and engraving on the bottom plate and trigger guard. Been looking for used Sako’s for YEARS and never seen one in person. Going to Tulsa show this year if I can find someone to go with me and surely there will be some there.

I cut off my Sako purchases at the AV line. My son has a 75 in .308 I bought off a member here but it’s stainless with a synthetic stock. It feels like a hooker, not a proper Sako. Great gun though. I think the 85’s are fine but I’ve heard of ejection issues with the case hitting the scope and falling back down
Do you mean Winchester M70 Classic in 300 Weatherby Magnum.

If you want to see one I can post a picture of mine. laugh
