Thread: Sako Carbonlight - New for 2015

Yeah...........but.

A lot of us will by a niceish rifle like an 85 then turn around and also buy a Mcmillan CF stock for it that can be as much as another $1k.

This way at least it's still factory, and factory is good. Very good. I've had a close look at one and the carbon layup and finish is superb. Much nicer that the Mcm ones.

Besides, I know for fact if you roll into the shop with $4k in your pocket you could walk out the door with one. Even less if you are good at negotiating.

I personally prefer the Browns Precision "One Pounder" kevlar stock which weigh well under 1 lb to McMillan myself. Not sure if you can still buy them though. Had one on my old Sako AII 7mm/08 and it came in at 6.25lbs with a Zeiss scope, sling and full mag.

Cant wait to see the pictures of these new Sakos with huge steel tactical rings, a 34mm Night force wnd a stainless suppressor as a light weight extreme Mountain rifle.

Just checked and yes that sako is still in the H&F shop in Hamilton 4599$ !!! It is a 308
And the kimber have jumped in price to 2400$ Bastards!

Have you noticed the US dollar lately, 64 cents FFS

So what would a finlight .260 be worth new now, was going to sell mine, (Canada) but perhaps I should ship it to NZ, with sum of my other rifles in the sea can.

Now that we know your plan mate it would be worthless if sold to a Kiwi

Had a look at one today, bloody nice rifle, even given the price.



Not sure what it weighs, feels much lighter than a Fin Heavy though



The carbon weave on the stock is stunning & the finish is interesting.



Just as well I'm not a Sako man

Anyone no where the rest of these are for sale?
