Thread: Sako Carbonlight - New for 2015

Kimber = $2100
Sako = $ 4600
1x Sako> kimber x 2

If that makes sense?

Ah! More than double the price of a Kimber then.

I don't mind expensive toys but that's a ridiculous price. All you're basically getting is a lighter stock than a Finnlight for another $1400.

Yeah...........but.

A lot of us will by a niceish rifle like an 85 then turn around and also buy a Mcmillan CF stock for it that can be as much as another $1k.

This way at least it's still factory, and factory is good. Very good. I've had a close look at one and the carbon layup and finish is superb. Much nicer that the Mcm ones.

Besides, I know for fact if you roll into the shop with $4k in your pocket you could walk out the door with one. Even less if you are good at negotiating.

I see a Carbonlight in your future Bevan. I'll catch up with you at the Sika show.

Never in @BRADS wettest, wildest smothered in baby oil dreams will I buy one.....see you there.

I wonder if the Carbonlite is a staged release, with more calibres on offer down the track.

I personally prefer the Browns Precision "One Pounder" kevlar stock which weigh well under 1 lb to McMillan myself. Not sure if you can still buy them though. Had one on my old Sako AII 7mm/08 and it came in at 6.25lbs with a Zeiss scope, sling and full mag.
