I have a sako 85 classic in 25-06, and it's a great shooter.
the weatherby rifles are nice, but I didn't want the black/stainless, and that high gloss finish on the wood stock markV just looks like [censored] in my opinion.
Sako doesn't also market all this "sub - moa" BS... their rifles just shoot.
Their both good rifles, to me it came down to the way the sako felt in my hands. They put a palm swell on one side of the stock that gives it a great feel when you handle it. The finish of the rifle is good, and the wood quality and finish is also very good.

The finish of the rifle is good, and the wood quality and finish is also very good. That's what they are well known for, excellent ergonomics. When I got my first 75 Hunter in my hands, I knew I had to have it. Other rifles on the shelf just didn't compare in how that Sako felt in your hand. Didn't hurt it shot excellent but for a hunting rifle I do value reliability and fit&feel over tiny differences in accuracy.
