Mungo I agree, The Tikka T3 Lite in 243, at least the one that I used, was as accurate a rifle 'out the box', I have used on deer.
But think about the general purpose for the Sako 75 in 243, to shoot medium sized deer at moderate ranges.
If 1.5"moa is achieved at 100 yds job done. Many get a lot better by honing their skills at the reloading and the range bench.
Yes older rifles get shot out and new barrels can work out more expensive than a new rifle. IMHO something changed with the mod.85 although I don't see any on this thread
If you need a BR for your hobby, go for it....john
Great piece of kit, I do think Ridge line are missing out on marketing though, I lost more weight than if I had joined weight watchers
Ha!

Put the Mrs outside and get the dog in. Far better company...........
You want to get a push bike! Perhaps as every vehicle on the road is so unreliable it's your driving? Just a thought! Millions of satisfied Toyota drivers worldwide yet according to you they are unreliable!
Of course there is, they never ever give trouble ........... well .................. not in the dreamland some live in
But back in the real world, apart from brakes, air bags, axles, cooling system etc etc they're just fine 
Lot of folk buy them and "overlook minor problems" as they don't want to appear they bought a bad one And it could be, if you read the post, that I never owned a Renault, it's the reputation they had.

Well I have had both (the 2 Hi-Lux were owned by my father at the time) and never had any issues with either, the tuned 200 bhp Renault 5 GT turbo was the most fun car I ever owned and I have owned a lot!

Le Chameau leather stalking boots, so bad they sent me a replacement pair, which were just as bad. They were a dreadful company (GMK) to deal with too.
Next on my list are the modern Butler Creek scope caps. I wasted so much money on them it is not funny, and kept doing it for far too long, I began to doubt my sanity.
A Mauser M03, which did not live up to the hype by any means. I fell for the marketing and believed, erroneously it turned out, that I was grading up from my Sako 75. I should not have sold that Sako. In fact all three of the factory Sako 75's I have owned would shoot much better than 0.5", my present one will do it with factory ammo which is uncanny.
Last but not least some Ridgeline (supposedly) breathable clothing, it was like wearing a sauna

An MGF. In white. Yes, I was the fool who bought that.
One Friday afternoon in a factory somewhere, some slightly drunk employees threw a few nuts and bolts together, poured in some Pritt Stik glue and put a body shell round it. Then they pushed it into the car park, and went happily off on their Christmas do....
Several years later, a fool saw the car on a garage forecourt in Bradford. "Ah" thought the fool. "That looks nice". And bought it. From then on, the fools life got worse. All his money was taken from him, and he got very thin because he had to walk everywhere. Oh dear.
Utter, utter, S&£@E!

just needed the patience and the other 2 wouldn't have mattered !
Webley Tracker air rifle.. remember those. Utter Utter gash.
Think mine must have been a result of an employee of Webley driving his vehicle headlong into an R&D facility for clocks. God it was noisy. After you had convinced the local wildlife within a 300m radius that the clicking of the ratchet system on the cocking leaver was not a precursor for impending doom, assuming I had found suitable quarry to shoot and taken a shot, the quiet would be shattered by what would sound like a car accident involving a lorry transporting alarm clocks. This would serve as a nice warning and summarily obviate the "silencer" that was more for comedy value than use. F Me it was bad. Also ate Nikko Sterling Scopes for breakfast.. what a wag of bank.
Nikko sterling silver crown parallax/ BDC scope. Prior to being eaten by the above, the parallax range finder was incredible. I mean, I didn't realise that 25 yards and 100 yards could be pin sharp at the same time.. though Nikko had taken time to add 50 and 75 yards measurements too.. still, it gave some one a job i guess. Optically, it was fine and had it on a .22 LR before hand.
Mad Dog over suit. I can't tell if the moisture is from water ingress or me sweating.
Most products marketed as though they are the professionals chose.. except no professionals are seen wearing them or in the advertising.

A Hornady ultrasonic case cleaner. I bought it two weeks ago and it is one of the sorriest pieces of crap I have ever used. I'm sure that the Chinese manufacturer intended it for jewelry. I ran 8 cycles and then let the cases sit over night in the Hornady liquid cleaner and then ran two more cycles in the morning and the primer pockets still had crud in them. I have a .4L capacity unit made for dentures from the 2nd Hand Store that will spotlessly clean 80, 223 in 40 minutes. I wrote to Hornady telling them what I thought of it. Typical re-labeling practices for them. Their "Case Drier" is a (NESCO) commercial food dehydrator with a Hornady label on it for twice the price of the dehydrator. Hornady is such a rip off artist.~Muir
