Sako hands down. My 300 finnbear is a thing of beauty and is a shooter.

I'd say sako, I gave 3 older models and one tikka, all shoot a variety of ammo at moa or less. The older ones are extremely well built and I'd consider one a steal atm650 with a leupold scope depending on condition. Good luck.

Sako is better built, action a lot smoother ruger is a fantastic rifle, I own two, but they are not a sako.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

As much as I love Ruger, I have to go with Sako in this situation. My experience with the Ruger model 77 is that it is NOT smooth at all and really just isn't worth the money.

I highly disagree that Ruger Model 77's are not worth the money. And they do smooth out with time and use. I have an old tang safety model that is as smooth as glass. Still...buy the Sako.

I was gonna be pissed if all these good men said Sako and you bought a Ruger anyway.

I was gonna be PO'd if he had bought the Ruger and wouldn't tell anyone where the SAKO was... Just Sayin that's a hell of deal if the gun is not totally rusted out & the bolt won't open

Love them older rugers, the Hawkeyes not so much. I have a hawkeye, synthetic stock stainless action/barrel. the triggers are much improved, everything else is about the same as it was. I don't care for the new matte finish and the stocks on the non-stainless models

Can't wait till I hear a discussion about buy American. Guess that only counts in lightbulbs and cheap electronics. At least we still got HighPoint.
