Dealer trying to talk me out of a SAKO 90 WHY?

[Hnthrdr]

Can confirm from experience. Springfield, Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer, Vortex, and Leupold are big ones for that.

I think the Ruger American Gen 2's are a great value for $600 but they're not in the same league as Tikka for me.

Hit and miss for a lot of people with regards to accuracy.

I guess it depends what you mean by decent. Savage themselves know their extractors and ejectors aren't great so they're having someone help them re-design them. Bolt feel is atrocious too. They tend to shoot decent for the money but aren't known for stellar reliability or feeling like a quality firearm.

Accurate assessment

I’ll be buying a Finnlight in 6.5creed and a hunter in 223 when they are available. Probably put a 22creed barrel on the Finnlight. Ready to sell off a bunch of rifles to accommodate the new sakos

I found the SAKO 90’s on sale at EO for an unbelievable price and asked my dealer about ordering one.
Note had to do this via text because he was actually closed this weekend, but his reply was you can get a better gun for less money, I know his opinion, but what say you Rocksliders?

Thats just his opinion. I wouldnt look to far into it unless he's getting pushy about it.
