Sako has taken its famous Model 75 and upgraded it with controlled-round feed that permits single-loading directly into the chamber; a silkier, 70-degree bolt throw; detachable magazine; and a trigger that's user-adjustable from 2.2 to 4.9 pounds.

We recently had the opportunity to try it in the .338 Federal on deer and hogs and were impressed with both its range and field performance.

Available in 13 calibers (12 for the stainless/synthetic version). $1,495 to $1,595. www.berettausa.com, 800/237-3882
