    I think they are good value for money over the kimber considering they come with rings and a case

    A Finnlight doesn't cost as much as everyone asks for them. Just ask for a discount. Might be surprised. 2.64kg.

    Yes. The factory published weight is wrong.

    How many have you weighed? How much weight is lost/gained in calibre choice?

    Okay, with my sample size of one, in .260, the factory published weight was wrong. It will definitely vary by chambering.

    +1 $2990 cash price makes the Forbes look expensive imo.
