Go sit on uncle Duncies knee
Only problem is when you start talking about the first thing that comes up while sitting on his lap it won't be carbonlight's...Quote:

don't know about were and tear but they feel real nice (different than a normal carbon stock) and it is a sako so a beautiful rifle to start withQuote:

Is the stock wearing alright @Dreamer , Like Buzz said I love the feel just wondering how it's wearing ?
PS- I have been offered one ( by a very generous forum buddy ) to have a play with :P
Wearing fine, just a few scratches from the odd rock

The scales wont tell you how well they handle tho
I found it was nice and centre weighted,
Stock makes it very easy to setup for off hand shots as its kinda sticks in your hand
So they grip ok when wet?
Yes, have used one for a weekend in heavy rain no problem at allQuote:

As well as the lightness i would hope for stable bedding.

I love the feel of the stock & it looks awesome, The palm swell / pistol grip is quite thick and the stock is fairly big in general length ( especially in pull ) but it comes up bwety. If I only had one alrounder this would definitely be near the top of the list.
It's not a super ultra lightweight with the fitted 2-12 VX6 scope ( a scoped sub 7lb 500y+ rifle is nothing to sneeze at though ) & it's a nice scope that suits the rifle really well.
Here's some comparison pics - Suppressed Kimber 7-08 VXR scope, Sako Carbonlight 260 VX6 & Weatherby 30-06 tim Z5 swarvo.

you mention a long length of pull, do you know if it is longer than a finnlight? looks longer than the weatherby?
Might have to call these the carbonheavys now...
Any one got a photo of how they bed them?
I do like the sounds of one in 260 as and addition to my safe
Xmas present to myself :)

Very tight and stable bedding.
As you would expect for what is effectively a ~$1700 stock.Quote:
