Well, my main concern is more-so the gun being too big for what I would be using it for/destroying too much of a deer if i use factory rounds, and the price of ammunition if I don't get into 'rolling my own', which sounds like a commitment, and recoil is of consideration too I suppose as it sounds like the 300 mag has alot of it. Also, the sako has a shorter barrel, dunno how much of a difference that makes. I'm not familiar with Sako, some of you are saying you would prefer it over weatherby? The reason I ask is someone told me Weatherby is as good as it gets, but they didn't say anything about sako...
