New to this forum and hunting in general. What are your thoughts on buying a rifle like Sako as your very first hunting gun? They seem dependable and well made, but am I aiming to high to start with?

Nothing at all wrong with a Sako.

But Once, Cry Once, This rifle is something you could easily be using for 30 years or more so why not spend some $ on it.

Many great choices and Sako is one of them. Choose the caliber wisely as well.

I would vote for a Sako as first hunting rifle (I have two s/s M-85's,) they have been accurate and dependable.
If you go that route use the Sako opti-lok scope mounts, I have had trouble with other brands.
Choose a scope that holds zero and tracks reliably.

I had wanted a sako for years but could not bring myself to part with that much money,instead I filled my safe up with other brands of rifles ,6 years ago I bit the bullet and bought a finlight in the classic 270 win threw a loepold vx3 boone and crockett 3.5 x14 on it and im still smiling when ever its in my hands.

Just a word of caution with the 85....mount a scope and check ejection with a fired case prior to paying good money for this rifle!

Are you looking to buy a “new” Sako or a “old” Sako ..

You can't go wrong with a sako, I got mine 5 years ago for a sheep hunt, most accurate gun I've shot

Good rifles, but you're probably better off to buy a Tikka and spend the remaining $1200 on binoculars and boots
