The Kimber hunter is not a rifle I would buy personally, for $1,250 or so you get a crappy stock and hideous plastic magazine with a whip thin barrel. I have also never bought a Tikka, mainly because every time I get close, it's in a short action cartridge and I balk at the idea of a long action 223 or whatever.
While both rifles have some plastic, including the magazines, the Tikka is a better rifle all round in that price range. Sako is about $1,000 more, so not really comparable imo.
