    They both shoot the same, carbonlights are a bit lighter but not much, for me its just the cool factor

    My grandfather inoculated me at birth against The Cool Factor and consequently I am immune to massively overpriced blinged up Sako 85s, no matter how light they are.

    So you drive an old Japanese replica of the Sako L579 instead...

    I actually did have a Lada, but I'm pretty sure they are Russian. Skoda and BRNO were/are Czechoslovakia/Czech republic.

    I had a 85 Finnlight, it already felt very light to carry compared to my other rifles, I wouldn't pay the extra for a carbonlight just for the additional weight saving, but it's not all about weight...
