Get in line
I would have one in a heartbeat.
It would be well worth dumping some of the stuff in my gun safe to own one.
In fact I just got to $3,800 in my head and I still had 2 left.
one of these are def on the list to cheek out
I'm having one and fuck the cost.Quote:

Looks to be about the same weight as a Kimber Montana, but heavier than a Kimber Mountain Ascent, Adirondack or the Forbes.
Looks like it will have to be 308 then��Quote:

Good question....I done it to two Sako 75's into one of the makers you mention, with pillars and Devcon.Quote:

In my not so humble opinion of course, but I have been there.

Well what is special about it is it is the first carbon stock offered by Sako in a production rifle that I am aware of, would you end up with the same product with a aftermarket stock, no of course you wouldn't because it wouldn't be a Sako anymore.!!!Quote:

Did you see that? STOCK WEIGHT OF 375g!
Good luck finding ANY aftermarket stock that weighs that little.
The prof will be when someone gets one and weighs it as we all know published weights are bullshit.
That is my point Kokaka. I have a Senator and a Montana stock. Both are bloody light, but closer to 600 grams. I wonder if it is possible to make it lighter without the structural strength suffering.
I guess my real question is, is the action etc identical on the carbonlight, or have they trimmed it up a bit, used some plastic bits to shave some grams off.
Bremik, we will have to wait and see.Quote:

This will be fun watching you post this to every thread :D might need to push the update to next weekend. You have a lot to do ;)

Factory is an all new cool
hopefully the carbon stock would have some decent r&d time spent on it
I see Reloaders have them listed in their latest catalog for @$5059, due August.
Ouch
Its only money, they're still printing it :)
Bugger me thats a very customised Remington and change left over for lunch and dinner :)Quote:
