Their accuracy and quality is without question but how long will one last with appropriate care and maitenance.
Probably close to five generations. Maybe more.

I agree with eldon519. The TC Icon is tops in my book. Machined on piccatinny rail was a big plus for me. It does deliver the minute of angle right out of the box.I would just get a Thompson Center Icon for less than $500. Guaranteed to shoot 3-shot, 100yd MOA groups. That is more accuracy than you need at immense savings, and then when it gets rained on and dinged up, you won't feel bad that you have messed up a $2000 gun.
I think it's also a good practice to get into the game cheap, and then once you know more about what you like, dislike, etc, that is when you spend the big bucks to get just what you want.
I don't know what they are building to day but my Sako Finnbear has been hunted almost every year since 1967. Not as pretty as it used to be but sighting in this year it shot .475".Sakos are certainly nice and offer a wide variety of effective calibers, the only issue is they're at the very top of my price range, even used. Can anyone attest for the ruggedness of a Sako? Their accuracy and quality is without question but how long will one last with appropriate care and maitenance.
