Thread: Sako Carbonlight - New for 2015

Had a feel of one today, awesome finish pretty keen to get one. Would like to see an actual weight, didn't feel significantly lighter than a finlight and they aren't very light.

Who do we believe now?

Felt pretty light to me,, guess theres a limit though, good when your carrying one in the hills but maybe an ultra light rifle isnt as steady as the others?
Im happy with my Finnlite, cost versus any additional weight reduction is about right for me

The lighter you go the more they kick.....do a few more press ups at night

If it is really light and feels like it kicks too much put a big heavy expensive scope on it.
Anyway, its more about feel and balance than actual weight.
Had a look at one at the Sika Show. Lovely looking stock but funny, the guy on the stand was pretty uninterested in them. When I asked the difference between that and the Finnlite, the first thing he said was "price"....

See there's your problem, you expected the knobs on the Beretta NZ stand to give a shit about anything except themselves and their exploits at Ngamatea or Craigmore.
I saw and held it there too, and came to my own conclusion..... I'd own one if......

Yeah. You're probably right there.
I didn't bother having a play with it. Didn't see the point as the bolt was on the wrong side.
And as they say, "Don't touch what you can't afford".
