Manderson, accurize a Sako? Did it need it? Miragetex, discussing sub-MOA groups fired on a bench is VERY different from sub-MOA groups fired in the real world. Leupold has stepped up their game a bit in the past few years, but still sell on 20+ year old reputation. While they sat back and made lots of money, every other company kept innovating and moving forward. Leupold has come back strong recently, but theya re playing catch-up in terms of quality (not price!)

Lastly, be mindful that a huge scope on a relatively light rifle make for an unwieldy combination. For a sporter rifle like a Sako Hunter, I'd stick with something a little more svelte than a 56mm objective tactical scope.
