Yes, I like the Sako, too. I've used an L61 (which has AIII on it at least) almost exclusively for about 28 years. It works so well that I've long wondered what the big deal was about controlled feed. Our ' 98 Mausers have been good, too, but knowing I might be in trouble if I bumped the cartridge ahead of the extractor would worry me if hunting DG.

In regard to magazines, there's a lot be said for only rebarrelling to calibres with a similar case body to the original one.
