JackRabbit,
I thought Sako-Tikka were owned by Beretta, which is an Italian company that manufactures some handguns and shotguns in the US. Beretta also own Burris, which is a US company and those scopes are still manufactured in the US. Heck Beretta owns a lot of companies (e.g., Benelli, Franchi, A. Uberti, Stoeger, Tikka, Sako), but I guess that is what happens when a company has been in business longer than the US has been a country. I think Beretta has been in business close to 500 years.
I might just end up going with the Sako, and seeing if I should get rid fo the rest of my Rugers. Again, I will not make this decision without first holding the Sako in my hands, shouldering it, and seeing how well that action works.
