308W would be possibly the more popular in the worldwide market place but I'd doubt they would have made like 1:2 compared to other calibre's during production? Would they?
And did the 6.5 Creedmore only come out in the Kimber?...now that is some forward thinking.
The Kimber IMO had moved forward significantly over recent times.

Long action is on the way but I don't think it will be 7mm08 and 308!

Are these still regarded as the bee's knees? Any updates with on field experience with the carbonlight?
@BRADS hasn't sold his yet?
Must be some kind of record for him.

They are just a finnlight with a nice as stock.
Maybe the best carbon stocks? The are soft and yet don't look beaten up despite getting lots of use.
I believe there's 5 rem mags coming into the country next month.
If you like nice guns full ya boots.

@Dreamer what does that outfit weigh?
The long actions aren't as light as I thought they might be, but then suppose it's better to have a bit'a'meat in the action then not enough.
TIM is way lighter even with his heavy stock, 6- 3/4 lb as in the pic with a Z5. GO WEATHERBY :thumbsup:

Wouldn't mind one though, especially a 260 mmmmmm...........
How heavy are the long action carbonlites Phil ?Quote:

PS- Was waiting and hopeing for some flack from the Sako fan club hahaha where's my boyfriend Brads xx
good job men! :thumbsup:Quote:

Should we be worried about someone who names his rifle "Tim" :)Quote:

Good writeup @Philipo.
My Howa (yeah I said it) with a senator carbon weights 6.8lbs with 4 rounds and the Zenith. No can though so that would put it over 7lbs I reckon.

Had a good look at the Carbonlights at the Sika Show and would love one in 22-250...
After looking at this thread the other day I saw a carbonlite in store while I was in town today and decided to take a look at it, nice rifle, nice to handle and reasonably light, im just not convinced that the carbon stock is worth $1800 on top of the price of a "basic" finnlight.
