Thread: Sako Carbonlight - New for 2015

And it would no doubt be cheaper and quicker to see Jason at senator stocks

Especially after Beretta add their usual level of "tax"........

I'm expecting a price in the region of about $8000,000,000,000,000,000. Give or take.

With the price tag of circa $USD2900 at EuroOptics in mind, in the Sako S action, so that's the .308 family.....

Blaser USA has re-released the R8 Professional S, with a view to getting people into an R8 for less than $USD3000. It doesn't have the dropout mag/ trigger assembly of the Proffessional, it is a top loader/ blind mag config like the R93.
The stock, without modification to the barrel channel, will take standard profile barrels in ALL R8 calibers up to .375 H&H.

On on one hand you get one caliber in a carbon stock, on the other, for a similar by in price you get into a system....sure it costs money to get another caliber, but just for the price of a barrel, not a whole rifle.

Yes I've just got myself an R8, but I've got 4 centrefire Sakos in the safe, two with carbon stocks, they'll be sold.

With the re-release of the Professional S, I reckon it's a more cost effective option than the Carbonlite.

Just my thoughts, not looking to troll or piss on any parades, and based only on advertised US prices.

Truth,.....I've never handled a T3 ( presume you mean Tikka ) nor had a latte, so I'm really not qualified to comment either way...
