Thread: Sako Carbonlight vs Finnlight

I really like the Carbonlight. Besides looking nice the stock has that soft-touch feel about it that you just dont get on other carbonfibre stocks. Additionally on other carbonfibre stocks I've seen first hand, there always seems to be one or two pinholes in the resin - something you just don't get on the Carbonlight.

While the Carbonlight is slightly lighter than the Finnlight its not that significant and this makes it bloody hard to justify the additional cost... so 80% of it just comes down to the "wank factor" as @199p stated above. That said I'm hapy to take a ribbing from my mates... most of whom have all asked for a shot, needed a bib (or a hanky), or want it to be left to them in my Will.

I'm not 100% certain but I thought the Carbonlight also had a different bedding system in the stock, and my 7mm08 barrel is only 20" which is definitely shorter than my old Sako A7, but might also be shorter than the Finnlight.

If you go for a .223 then the Carbonlight comes with a short action. The short action isn't available in the Finnlight... as I found out when I went looking for one. This makes it just the sweetest little rifle to shoot and you never get tired of carrying it around the hills.
