Cliff Notes:
-Are Sako rifles really as good as people on the internet claim?
-Are there equally good .270 bolt action rifles that are cheaper and equally effective?
Hey guys I own two relatively cheap though effective guns, a shotgun and a pistol, and am interested in buying a rifle
I've been going back and forth between the thought of getting a semi-automatic assault rifle or a really laser accurate bolt-action style hunting rifle, but since the shotgun is my go to home defense weapon and I don't really need another, I'm leaning towards the hunting rifle.
I'd always thought I would get an old WW2 bolt action rifle, but lately I've been considering getting a high-end rifle chambered in .270 which in my experience is a very accurate cartridge that is nonetheless quite powerful. I took my first deer with a .270 and the bullet was right on the money. It exploded the heart and killed the deer almost instantly.
Of all the .270 rifles I've looked at, the Sako is the one that really seems to stand out. All the reviews I've read of this gun are fantastic but one major drawback is the high price tag. New these guns go for like 2K and I haven't seen a used one for less than $700. That's a lot more than many bolt rifles cost.
Still if the gun is as good as people claim it might be worth the money.
Do Sako owners really think this rifle is all that (does it deserve the high price tag)? Are there cheaper .270 bolt-action rifles that are just as good in your opinion?
