The manufacturing cost and wholesale price of these ex-Finland into the Beretta dealers network would be interesting to know. Some marketing fellas have certainly made an interesting call on the value of the brands Sako and Finnlight. Only time will tell if people are suckered into paying it.

Does it? I was looking at these when they came out and thought what a great looking rifle they were, but I've never spoken to anyone who has one. Does the barrel heat up quickly and affect the accuracy? As I had that problem with a Remington Mountain rifle. 3 Shots and you'd leave a burn mark on your hand if you touched it.
