You are very wise to choose Sako, I have 8 in various calibers. A friend of mine has a Finnlite in the Swede cal. and it is a one hole shooter at 100yrds but he hand loads for it. I don't know what factory ammo is out there for it but I don't think there is a very wide selection or how good it is. Also I had a Finnlite in 22-250 for Ground Hogs and if I shot multiple shots with it the group would walk to the right after 3-4 shots due to the pencil bbl. heating up quickly so ypu might want to look at a Hunter Stainless or a Sako model with a thicker bbl. although it probably would not be a problem deer hunting.
