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)

No available in .223 ... awwwww
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...
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?
Any word on an NZ price? Typical too, just bought a Finnlight late last year!
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 .
I am hoping the stocks can be purchased separately :)Quote:

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.

Is the weight more in line with the R93 in this configuration?
Here we go, now we will have Sako owners also whining that they need a muzzle brake on their .223! :p
