I really like the Sako's action but do not care for its stock. There's no place for injection molded plastic on a $2000 rifle

I'd go 300wsm in the Ti, over the Win Mag to keep weight down

I agree that the plastic stock with the removable cheekpiece on the Finnlight is cheap looking and doesn't fit a rifle of that price. The newer soft-touch type stocks are very classy IMO but the slim barrel profile isn't suited to the magnum calibres. My choice then would be the soft-touch stocked Finnlight in 30-06.

I have the Alaskan Ti in .300WSM, it's light and accurate. The Sako's do nothing for me...

I've never had a Remmy that made me drool over it's performance. I do with my Sako's.

the 700 Alaskan Ti in 7mm I shot left me more than happy with its accuracy. 5/6 inside .6" @ 100m with 140gr Barnes TTSX
