Thanks for the input guys, that helps. At least now I think I can pretty much rule out the SAR's. Bolt-action it is!
So now I've got the following list:
- Sako 85
- Browning X-Bolt
- Weatherby Vanguard Sub-MOA
All offer stainless finish and composite stocks.
Any others I should throw into the mix? I did look briefly at the new Winchester M70 SS but I don't think I'll be able to find one of those inside of the next 6 mos (it's kinda plain lookin too).
