Sako is a darn good choice. If you are looking for lightweight look at the Kimber too. Street price around $1100, or a bit less. A $300-$400 Leupold is all the scope you'll ever need and will come in well under your $2000 budget. Mine weighs under 6 lbs even with scope and mounts. The Kimber synthetic is the best factroy synthetic available. The Sako synthetic stock is nothing special, but one of the better injection molded stocks. It is very well designed, and McMillan makes a much better replacement if you ever want to go that way.
If I were going Sako I could live with the stock. I've never owned a Sako, but have handled enough to know they are a significant step up over a Tikka, which is not a bad gun. I have owned Tikka. I like my Kimber quite a bit, but won't argue with anyone who says Sako is a better gun. They are just different enough to be good at different things.
