    2.8 so just under 6-1/4 lb, so still bloody light for a mag action. Most lw long action models are a lb heavier than their short action siblings.

    I'd have one, good to have a little weight on a grunty cannon, thought of putting a lighter stock on Tim and saving another 300 odd grams but I think he's light enough and a good practical weight at the mo.



    PS- Was waiting and hopeing for some flack from the Sako fan club hahaha where's my boyfriend Brads xx

    No flack here mate.
    Rifles are just tools to me.
    While I love my carbonlite I'm just not convinced they are worth the asking price.
    Edit: Tim is a super cool rig.

    Should we be worried about someone who names his rifle "Tim"
    I like the Sako Carbonlights its just I would rather have several rifles as opposed to just one flash one I'm too scared to take out in the rain eh.
