I've been eyeing my next rifle. The Sako 75 Laminated Varmint , chambered in .223. I have a Tikka t3 stainless laminate, in .308 Win, tapered sporter barrel, and could not be happier with how accurate it is, and how smooth the action and trigger are.. 
I'm still working up loads for it, but it seems to like almost anything I throw at it.
But meanwhile, I feel the burning need for a slick, paper-punching demon, call me crazy , and I've been eyeing the Sako for a while. I'm thinking .223 Rem will give me a 300 yd varmint/tack driver. Am I right? So anyone own one, willing to share some feedback on the quality of this rifle (yes, I know about the finnlight recalls last year). The spec sheet says the twist is 1:8. Seems like most rifles in this caliber are either 1:9 or 1:12. I'm wondering why the twist on the Sako is slower..?
It's such a thing of beauty, though ain't it..?? I'm a sucker for the laminated woods - seems like a nice happy medium between the warm, "true" wood stocks, and the soulless synthetic ones
