Thread: Sako 85 Finnlight II

The new Finnlight II is grouping around 5/8" with Lapua 150gr Megas but early days yet. It has a very thin fluted barrel so heats up quickly. Still, as you know, it's the first shot that counts.

Must give you a bell and catch up.

The BB was seriously nice. Hope you get the same results with the Finn II as you did with the BB.

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 24" barrelled 6.5 Creedmoor for the Kawekas. Have you still got your Blaser's?

Yep, still running a Blaser. Still can’t see what the Finn II would offer that the BB didn’t despite the stock ergonomics for bush work.

Weight is the only thing that comes to mind, although there are more than a few rifles that are lighter than a Finnheavy.
