No worries to me I just answered your question mate.
Personally I'd rather no gun at all than a forbes😁

The scales wont tell you how well they handle tho

I found it was nice and centre weighted,
Stock makes it very easy to setup for off hand shots as its kinda sticks in your hand

So they grip ok when wet?

Yes, have used one for a weekend in heavy rain no problem at all

I felt one in a shop and the palm swell was quite pronounced but in the wrong place for my hand.

As well as the lightness i would hope for stable bedding.

Was Luckily enough to be given Brads 260 to have a play with

I love the feel of the stock & it looks awesome, The palm swell / pistol grip is quite thick and the stock is fairly big in general length ( especially in pull ) but it comes up bwety. If I only had one alrounder this would definitely be near the top of the list.

It's not a super ultra lightweight with the fitted 2-12 VX6 scope ( a scoped sub 7lb 500y+ rifle is nothing to sneeze at though ) & it's a nice scope that suits the rifle really well.



Here's some comparison pics - Suppressed Kimber 7-08 VXR scope, Sako Carbonlight 260 VX6 & Weatherby 30-06 tim Z5 swarvo.

you mention a long length of pull, do you know if it is longer than a finnlight? looks longer than the weatherby?
