The rifle should balance at the front action screw when it's ready to hunt. Making offhand hits with a rifle that's light in the muzzle is far harder than with a rifle that's neutral or muzzle heavy. Muzzle heavy without a scope is a good thing because adding a scope shifts the balance point to the rear. If forced to choose between muzzle-heavy and muzzle-light, I'll take muzzle-heavy every time.

Thank you John. Glad to learn that.
I just read of a bunch of issues that are known with the sako a7. Got me starting to think tikka and Bergara should get my attention.

Leupolds get really inexpensive just before the line gets dropped and a new line comes out.Originally Posted by Borderland

T3X Lite Stainless in 6.5 $799 no cc fees. GB.
6.5 Creedmoor has been with us for about 12 years now. It isn't a boutique cartridge anymore. I don't think there are any US ammo mfg's that don't build ammo for it. A good comparison of this cartridge would be .308 Win and 30-06. The former being a short action and not much else. The Creedmoor is the new 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. Anyone who looks at cartridge performance knows what a 6.5x55 SM is. It's been around for 125 years. Sort of the Euro version of the -06.One thing to consider when selecting a caliber such as 6.5mm or any boutique latest rage ammunition, it is doubtful for example RT-17, exist 100 in Liberty you are going to find anything 6mm, but a dusty box of 30.06 even in todays times will be located easily. Ya we all say "we ain't that guy", until we are that guy or he is a hunting companion you are traveling with.
Here's a good comparison of Euro 6.5mm (.264) cartridges and the 6.5 Creedmoor.

I know I know. It’s coming. Few days. I’ll probably grab a Bergara in 308 for the same exact price. Local shop actually has 308.
Yes, .308 Winchester has seemed to be a mostly-available cartridge, through most of 2020 and 2021. It took a while for many of the other hunting cartridges to sell-out, but, once they did sell out, stock has tended to not be replenished, whereas .308 has continued to trickle into retail sellers.
Retar’d LE. Kinesthetic dufus.
Don’t tread on volcanos!
If you get that Bergera .308, I will give the starter kit below for free!
