....5% is still cheaper than any current inflation measure (no interest in getting into the current government's dereliction of duty here). The (elephant in the room) let down will be the NZ Agent bend over we get for the privilege of living at the brown freckle of the world.

The Peak carbon is $6,525 NZD (converted from pounds) in the UK and $6,100 NZD in New Zealand.

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

Any left handed carbon ones coming?

It’s a very nice rifle but too expensive for a factory rifle. I like the range of options, metal Mag, new trigger, light weight, and carbon stock but I can put a T3 in a carbon stock for less than half the price. OK, not as special, but will shoot just as well.

But it won't feel like a Sako

and it won't have the intangible knob factor.

Bang for ya buck, Tikkas are heard to beat.

Has the peak got heavier isnt the sa 85 carvon light 2.4kg?

That is for the XS action size. That has not yet been released in the 90, but the weight will be the same.

Yes but not on this first shipment I’m afraid

Are those all NZ images and video??

Like the 1:8 243 with the Black S/S.
Once the 1:8 243's start turning up in entry level rifles I'm guessing they will be very popular (T3's etc)
Z.
opps I see the T3 243's are now 1:8 as well.

Yes the entire international launch was filmed in NZ a couple months back. Benefits of all the animals in Europe being out of season.

I had all of the rifles you see in the films at home for a few weeks so I got to know them pretty well. Plus sneak out when people were not at the range and test fire them all.

No sorry. We don’t even have the ordering codes yet. So I would say 6 months min

A real shame Sako never made a Finnlight in 223, NZ would have taken 1000+ of them :)

They made the barrels, but diddnt used them until the Tikka superlight was put together
