Gun work

I have a Sako .308. I don't hunt much any more and have 4 better choices if I were to draw a good tag. Thinking re barrel, tactical stock. Am I crazy? Should I just sell and start with a 700 or similar?
I like the Sako seems more precision than my other weapons.

Thoughts?
Also need to find a smith.

In my opinion I would sell it and start with something else. The Sako should be a good rifle but you would be a lot more money to end up in the same place as starting with a Remington or maybe a Howa. If you went with a Remington and find an old action and build off that, I guess it would depend on how much money you wanted to spend and what you wanted to do with it.

Agreed.

In factory form, the Sako might be better. But for a build, the 700 is a better platform to start with. A lot depends on how far you want to go. If you'll end up blueprinting the 700 and getting a good trigger, you might consider just starting with a custom action.

Look at the tikka rifles also. They seem to be right up there with the remington and such. I have one and love it.
