Already have a Sauer 202 Elegance in 308 and recently picked up a Tikka M690 in 6.5x55.
I'd always been happy with the Sauer except for the weight (wood stock and a very nice one). The Tikka has become my go to gun because it just points and handles better than the Sauer (she is a bit of a broom handle in comparison).
I've done the rounds of several dealers (incl. S Beaty) and tried the Blaser and the several Sauers, also the Heyms and Merkels.
I just can't bring myself to switch to a Blaser but did like the handling of the Outback - light and quick onto target (like the Tikka).
I do prefer 308 (the 6.5 is an excellent round) but just want a lighter, faster handling rifle, and do like the Sauer for quality & build.
Will I solve my problem or am I about to spend a lot of money for no real gain?
Thanks.
