Not too impressed with the A7. The A5 is a primo-classic Sako. The synthetic stocks were made by McMillan, the wooden stocks made to their high standards.
Lots of aftermarket stuff being done now with the T3. The tactical and varmint Tikkas are on par with many high-end tactical models. The newish Tikka match gun with laminated stock gives the TRG-22 a run for its money. Not as many accessories, but if you don't need backup irons, mirage strap, detachable trigger assy and all the TRG-22/42 bells & whistles, for half the price the rifles are in the same league.
Lots of better Sakos out there than the A7. Would buy the Tikka, especially if wanted a .223 since it comes in 8 twist barrel. Would look for an A5 or other classic Sako if wanted a standard or magnum centerfire. Have owned about 8 different Sakos from Vixen to TRG-S & 42. Find an A-III if you want real Class. A Deluxe would be very cool.
