Thanks for the advice guys. I checked out the Sako again, the guy who died was supposedly mainly a shotgunner and muzzleloading guy, who died with a nice collection of rifles he rarely shot, and it looks like it.
The Remingotn also looks like it has had very little use, a few more little dings than the Sako, both bores look nice...
The GOOD news about buying varmint guns in Indiana is all they probably have seen is occasional shots at coyotes and ground hogs, since we can't use any (real)( as in non-pistol caliber) centerfire rifles for deer unless on your own property.
I am glad I chose my Ruger 77 Indiana Swift that MAY have gone to P-dog land a few times and fired a few hundred rounds at them besides the occasional target and coy-dog over the nice looking Montana Savage Model 12 Swift for a little less $ that COULD have had 10000 rounds fired at p-dogs already...;
I'm leaning towards the Sako, although I stopped in a shop today in my travels that didn't have any nice vsarmint rifles except some nice HMRs, but had a SWEET 1950s bare bones but CLEAN Model 12 Winchester takedown modified 12 ga for only $399 that fit me when I threw it up that makes me think it and a $300 Savage 17 HMR package will give me both worlds...
