Sako A7 roughtech weight

[westernslope]

Saw a Sako A7 “Big Game” (apparently also called the roughtech) at the store and was very impressed. A long barrel (over 24”) and a fluted stainless barrel. I’m seeing different weights for this gun online and was wondering if anyone here has one and knows the actual weight. I’m looking at a 30-06.

While I’m asking questions, what are your thoughts about the A7, particularly in comparison with Tikka rifles?
