sorry, I didn't meen to stir hatefull emotions. I was just saying what someone told me. I don't just take one opinion and make my desitions on that. I always heard that sakos were great quality except from this former worker. I told him I might be interested in a 458 Lott in the future and he told me the lott was not a very good cartridge because it had poor accuracy from his experience. what his experience is, I don't know, besides he said he had a rifle in that caliber and it was not accurate, but don't kill the messager. most of what I have heard is the oposite from what this guy is saying about rifles and cartridges. I still want to get a lott in the future because many other people have said they are accurate if you can shoot it well.
The reason I ask other people about stuff like this is because It's almost impossible for me to find any of the rifles I want so that I can actually hold them and work the bolts. instead I have to ask opinions and order the rifle even if I just want to hold it. No stores around seem to have many big bores at all, but they can order them. it sucks
