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...

@Ryan_Songhurst Which shop had it? I'd like to go have a gander at one.

H&F tower junction, its a 7-08

Also one at Whangarei in 7-08 if anyone wants a fondle.
I had a good look and would love to buy it because it is awesome, but just can't justify $5k, wish I could!

So I bought the Japanese version instead!

Sweet I'll buy it for $3500 and you get the remaining $500 from nesika

Were they bringing these in in 300winmag?

Seems like the sort of thing that I really really don't need. But... I do

Not sure

I already have a 300 win mag

When the rem mag Carbonlite gets here i can just swap the stocks around on the day.

The win mag is hard on you when firing 208 amaxs at 2980fps, and nice with 178 amaxs, the carbon stock might elevate the recoil a little :)

Yeah I bet it pushes back a bit with that load - my 300wm is 168amax at 2800fps with a suppressor & makes it a pussycat. My shoulders buggered so no recoil helps. Can imagine it would still be fine in a lighter rifle.

Let us see the result when you do the swap.

I might make some enquiries and see if there are winmags on the horizon.

You've got some nice rifles 7mmSAUM

I guess the northern hemisphere hunting seasons are opening soon, every new Carbon sako would be sucked up by that market.

There is a mint secondhand SS/walnut 85 in 223 at H&F in Dunedin at the moment. Looks to be a 1/12 twist. I think anyway as it has 12" stamped on barrel.
