Bill,

I have a real liking for the pre 64 M-70. Had more than 75 at one time but have sold off all but about 6. The aforementioned FW supergrade and a 250-3000, 257 Roberts,7mm Mauser. 300 Savage and a first year 30-06 given to me by my father in law. I had another till not long ago but somebody really wanted to buy it so it is gone.
The older Sako is a nice rifle. I have an older Sako 75 in 30-06 that is a pretty rifle and it shoots quite well...well a lot better than I can shoot it. They'll both cost you about the same but the Winchester will appreciate in value over the years much more than the Sako. I can't believe how many Winchester rifles and shotguns are being sold for parts now days. You can usually get twice as much for the parts as you can for the complete gun. Model 12's and 97's especially,,,more parts in them. In fact i have an old 1903 A3 Springfield here that someone offered me 150 bucks for the bolt. Bent and swept Sniper Bolt apparently. Heck, I thought the whole barreled action was only worth about 150-200. Buy a Winchester...you'll probably love it
