    Sako Carbonlight - New for 2015

    New stock for the 85 (S) this year.

    Finnlight with a Carbon stock. Short action only. 2.3Kg

    That's the same weight as a short action Montana. (But with a shorter barrel)

    I believe the Sako M10 is also now being made available for civilians as well...

    Looks good. A price of $2900US doesn't though. Could make a sweet shooting custom rifle for that...
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Could make a disastrously expensive and problematic custom rifle for that. Why would you buy a well engineered factory rifle with a warrantee when you could get someone to screw some random bits together in their shed?

    Could be the same reason people build hot rods in their sheds instead of buying a falcon or corolla with a factory warranty............... Maybe they just like the idea of building something different and the journey they take? And you are right they could make a problematic rifle for that, but have you thought of the other side of the coin? They might make a lovely handling rifle that shoots great...............

    You'll probably find they won't be until they fill orders for complete rifles....

    Sako TRG M10 would be nice , BUT I imagine the price to be in the same realm as the AI AXMC , which I would think is its main rival , as such I would take the AI over the Sako , for 2 main reasons ( 1 the magazine , and 2 the duriabliity ) , as the 10rd 338LM AX magazine is awesome , its like a scaled up version of the 10rd AW 308 magazine , ie double stack , double feed design , the Sako uses single feed / double stack mags .
    Once you use a AW magazine in 308 or the AX mag in 338LM on a AI rifle platform , you will be happy with nothing else .
    The AI rifles running the above mags , are just super smooth in operation , so smooth thats its mentioned in the AW 308 rifles manual , that 1st time user of the AW , will because its so smooth , actually think the rifle has not picked up & chambered a round from the mag , only to open the bolt to expect a empty chamber , and instead eject a properly chmabered round .
