What are the thoughts on a Sako A7? Specifically, I'm looking hard for a 404J but, stumbled across a Sako A7 in 416 Remington. I'm not sure I would rebarrel it or try to convert it to 404J but, it looks like a nice rifle from the initial inspection. Cost-wise, initially, they are asking for a bit less than a new Win M70 in 375H&H and pretty close to the clean used M70's I'm looking at.
How does something like this rate against a CZ 550 or Win M70 or similar rifles in a big game caliber? Pro's and Con's? Good, Better, or Best or walk away and look for something else? An Interarms Whitworth looks to be similar money as well which I think would be an easy conversion to 404J.
TIA,
Sid
