    85 SS & Finnlight

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

    Those numbers do not sound correct at all. 700g with the only changes being alloy bottom metal, alloy mag bottom and barrel contour / fluting / length.

    100 - 200g would be more like it.

    Given the quality of the hunting fishing website..... in hindsight id say you are correct.

    If you want to save some weight on the 85, replace the 875g stock! (85 S Finnlight not soft touch)

    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
