    Scope mounts have changed which will probably win a few people over - actions are either 17mm Tikka mount or slotted for Picatinny rings depending on model

    Correct. We have 52 about to be put on a plane (along with a few hundred Tikka)

    Initially the S action size is coming in, so mainly 308. But we have ordered 7mm mags, 6.5prc, 300s etc. and before someone asks, no word on 7prc yet unfortunately.

    I have shot these 90s a lot and are a great unit

    Correct. We have not been able to order standard 85 Finnlight for over 18 months now and they have not carried it through to the 90. Finnlight 2 is now Adventurer.

    Is there an extra 5% cost to go with the extra 5 on the model number?

    No. We have spent 12 months fighting an increase. So 90 is the same price structure as the outgoing 85s
