Not sure jakewire, didn't really check that out. I think the Finn II barrel looks thinner because it's darker due to the cerakote.

Kinda goes well with Frodo. :)
Weight is the only thing that comes to mind, although there are more than a few rifles that are lighter than a Finnheavy.
Thanks B. I don't think the Finn 2 will equal that Black Bear accuracy wise. Mainly because of the bear's much heavier, fluted and stiffer barrel. The Finn 2 is for mainly bush hunting. Have got a...
Thanks, I'll try and get some pics up as soon as I've finished a few jobs that have to get done today.
Yep Bevan, traded it in plus a shotgun on the Finnlight II. That Sako Black Bear .308 was one seriously accurate rifle. Never did like the stock though which is exactly the same as the Finnlight...
Think you'll find that your bolt is chromoly on that rifle Chris.
Bolts in bolt action rifles don't usually rust because they're normally coated with a thin coat of lubricant. Have never had...
Plenty of rifles with a stainless bolt handle but didn't know there were rifles with a SS bolt body.
Bought a Finnlight II in .308 today. Nice rifle.
Thanks guys, I'm considering buying one tomorrow.
Does anyone else have a Finnlight II and would care to share their impressions of it?
Looks like she's ready to drop. What cartridge is your Finn II chambered in Chris?
A bad workman always blames his tools.
Sure, you have more time before stainless steel rifles will rust compared to chrome-moly but some people have this idea that SS doesn't rust at all. I've seen a few stainless barrel bores that were...
It doesn't matter what it costs as long as the buyer is happy with their purchase. The rest is just B.S.
It'll grow on you. :)
I'm figuring around $4K for the FL2 which is 1K less than the Carbonlight.
A H&F employee told me that the the older Finnlights just don't move, some of which have been in the rack for nearly two...
All rifles | SAKO
85 Finnlight 2 | SAKO
I wouldn't change just because it's a new model. Some people would though and good luck to them.
Thanks matagouri. One thing for sure and that is they will almost certainly cost more spondoolies than the current model.
Has anyone seen a picture of the new soon to be released Sako 85 Finnlight II?
