    Also consider the Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44mm CDS. Nice glass for the money and can be bought at a lot less than at some retail chains.

    I have a Finnlight II in .308 that I use with 180 gr bullets in a pretty warm load and the recoil doesn't bother me at all as the rifle has a good thick rubber recoil pad. It must be the design of the stock. Also, the adjustable cheek piece is a nice feature on Finn II.

    Those Carbonlight stocks are supposed to be very tough according to these You Tube videos.

    I already own a VX6HD.

    Have you got the 308 suppressed? @10-Ring

    The price of those rifles pushes you into custom territory. Of course you should do whatever you want with your money, but why not give Greg at Terminator a call and see what he can do for similar money? That way you can have all the bits you want - custom action, cut rifled barrel and a good trigger.

    T3 is 3 Kg in magnum configuration, so the Carbonlight and Finnlight cost much more considering the weight. I believe they have the same barrel as the T3 too.

    Anyway, enjoy whatever you decide to get.

    Yes, my mistake didn't see that about the scope.

    No, not suppressed. I don't want to destroy the balance of the rifle (just my ears).
