anschutz or sako.... help me decide today

[selfbowhunter]

i have worked out possible deals on a sako p94s and an anschutz 1416d HB. both rifles are in excellent condition with little use. the sako is $150 more. which is the better rifle for a trainer? which is likely to shoot better? thanks.

Either one would be a great choice but I would go with the Anschutz myself because I have one and know how goog they are. Mine is 1907 BR model.

The trigger of the Anschutz is the same as in their 1903 match rifle. I am very biased towards Anschutz triggers so that would determine my choice if I really had to choose between the two.
The finnfire is also very good, the quad is based on this gun.
Try to shoot both and see how they feel, you can´t go wrong with either of the two.

Well I'm gonna give you another Arkie's opinion.

I'd go the Sako as I have one of them and know how it shoots. But thats just 2 ole Arkies opinions. Seriously you can't go wrong, the Sako would be easier to upgrade the bbl on. My Lilja shoots better than the factory Sako but just barely.

the sako is a great rifle I would select the 94 also a lilja barrel and there about as good as you will get from a rimfire

Isn't the Sako a large enough action that it can be fitted to a McM A series stock? I think that's true and if it is that'd be my only reason to go away from annies.
The 1416 is a 64 action so the trigger isn't the same as the 54 match rifles. The two stage 64 trigger is a great trigger, and only barely bested by the 9018 triggers on the 54 match guns...

Sako for me

the 1416 was reported to have the single stage trigger. from a quality standpoint, i think they are probably neck and neck though i dont like the plastic on the sako. i was hoping one of them might have a decisive accuracy advantage to make the choice easier. i really apprecitate all the help.

From the Anchutz site http://jga.anschuetz-sport.com/index.php...duktShow=detail

Trigger:
Two stage trigger and single stage trigger correspond to the match triggers, which are used in the ANSCHÜTZ target rifles of the models 1903. The light weight, hardened and polished parts guarantee a smooth and precise release of the trigger.

You cannot exchange them but internally they work the same.
And you can choose single and two stage triggers.

Re: anschutz or sako.... help me decide today

sabre-you're correct, the 1903 is a 64 Match rifle, I was thinking of the 1907, the 54 Match rifle.
My comment about the 64 two stagers still stands, they are only bested by the 9018 triggers in the 1907 and 54.18's!
