I have nothing against the Sako Finnlight except that for the money, the stock feels cheap and poorly designed. I feel like I would want to replace the stock.
I have a few Kimber Montanas. IMO, the Montanas are near perfect. You do have to learn to shoot them from the bench. IME, they do not do well on a firm surface. They do best on a softer surface (use a towel to pad the rest) and they need to be held firmly on the bench. Do not let them free recoil. They are easier to shoot in the field. On shooting sticks, I still grip the fore end firmly. Less so using a bipod. Because of their lightweight, they do recoil more than heavier rifles, but the stock design is excellent (for me) at handling it.
Overall, I prefer the Kimber Montana.
