    85 SS & Finnlight

    Anyone know the actual weight difference? Sako site doesn't help much, maybe .1kg according to them...

    Yeah I know, I looked there first, it just seems implausible that the Finnlight and 85 SS basically weigh the same, 100gms difference isn't convincing

    $1 per gram is cheap in the world of trying to lighten a rifle

    Too true. Always worry about the 100 grams on the rifle, but not the 15kg around the waist.
