[QUOTE="wildcatgoal, post: 2061182, member: 115788"] Have you looked at Cooper? Do they make a 28 Schnoz? Their rifles are very nice. To be honest, my ugly-as-hell Savage Ultralite fires as accurately as my buddy's Christ rifle but I don't feel like crying every time I push through brush or whatever and threaten to scratch mine up in the field. I use a 300 WSM (the gentleman's 300 magnum) and he fires 300 Win Mag. Within the distance I shoot, the WSM is just as effective, so... And then... my Tikka Ulralite in 270 is just as accurate as both of them for half the price and about same weight. Fierce is kind of a rag'n'bones company sometimes, even reviewers say that. They make a great rifle, though. I've never played with a Fierce action but I do have a Sako Gray Wolf and the action on that is boner-ific. I can only compare it to the action on my Bergara HMR Pro, which is as smooth as any custom 700 action I've nutted with as far as I'm concerned, and I like the Sako action even better. Just feels like it's all the right weights and measures. At least with Sako 85s, there's an issue with ejected cartridges hitting today's thicker scopes, but that's usually only short magnums. Mine is a 7mm Rem Mag and seems to eject fine. Anywho, point is, I don't see a point in buying any rifle you can't first touch to make sure the action (if you are picky and a little bitch about it like me) isn't going to drive you nuts. Aftermarket options, like triggers... not a factor. If you need a Sako action trigger, you can find one that'll suit your needs. 9/10 the trigger on a Fierce or Christ is going to please the buyer. The next step up is higher end factory rifles and they often use the same trigger-grade. [/QUOTE]
