Rediculous.....I'd like to see the justification for the price....but the price may be dictated to the retailer by the importer.Quote:

Plus add approx $500 for freight and permits and it takes you to $4300. If you're lucky you might sneak through without GST but if you're unlucky then you could up paying as much as $4800-$5kQuote:

Geez that's a steep price! Ream the NZ consumer
I really want to be a Sako slut but my pockets just are not that deep.
When Brads and a few others get some and sell them on to get the next fad I hopefully will get one :thumbsup:
NIce, but not enough to justify the price above the Finnlite
Sorry Cam I won't be selling the two finnlights I have for one of those that price is over the top.Quote:

Why are you all surprised about the price? That's exactly how lightweight works, The last few grams cost the most!
Forbes rifle for just over $3K??Quote:

I thought it was under 3k?Quote:

So 2.44Kg is not too far fetched at all then.

I had a good long look at a M20B today - They just don't do it for me at all.Quote:

Looks that way aye..
Just like christensen arms carbon stocks, serious works of art !!!Quote:

5k, fuck me. Then you'd feel silly putting anything less than a 2-3k scope on it. 7-8k rifle unsuppressed.
I had the cash but couldnt even justify to myself the jump from X-Bolt to 85 Finnlight. First they wanted double the price, now more than triple haha.
4k I could at least understand although it'd still be ridiculous. 5k they can just fuck off :P.
Yip, that was me. Then @gimp provided an accurate weight for a "S" actioned Finnlight.Quote:

They make a "alpine" version now too, I reckon it would be cheaper than the Sako and most like you would get one faster as wellQuote:

Looks ok apart from the sticky outy mag which is hideous !Quote:

Any one seen one in real life yet?? Ive been told that they wont be for sale until sept
I had a fondle of one of these Sako's today & yes it's cool and real prutty :)
The stock has a very nice finish & feel ( quite thick through the pistol grip / palm swell ) and the action seems to have been trimmed a bit over the standard 85 ( Im no Sako expert though )
I'd have one :thumbsup:
I had a look at one last week and thought the same thing. The stock has a real "Grippy" feel to it which I like. It has an unusual/different forend as well. Sort of like an old Brno/Parker hale...sort of. And yes it had a decent size pistol grip. not like some of the skinny offerings out there today. Still at about $4200 A tikk and a carbon fibre stock would be as good and save you a HELL of a lot of $$$$.Quote:
