Thread: Sako Carbonlight - New for 2015

It's a shame the Carbonlight has such a thick pistol grip. I don't like thick pistol grips as they always feel somehow crude and unrefined to me. Then again, if you have hands like baseball mitts I suppose the Carbonlight stock would feel okay.

Seriously though, the price of Sako rifles is outrageous and the Carbonlight super outrageous.

I thought the thicker pistol grip was a plus over the usual thin weedy pistol grips on modern rifles. It made it feel solid. Also the rubbery coating this has seemed really good, only time will tell about its wear rate. But at that price the thing should carry itself.

What do the normal carbon stocks, like stug's feel like? Is it just a smooth hard finish?

Smooth hard finish but somehow still grippy when its wet. I thought my hands would slide all over the thing when I first got it. Stug stock that is

Only carbon fibre feels like carbon fibre, the christensen Arms stocks feel the same, perfect for everyday use.

Just as well you added the last bit to your sentence mate

So many nice long range setups on here. Even more so in the buy and sell section.... God damn... Hard to resist

Just been into the local hunting and fishing to have a look at the carbon light.
Was told there is none in the country yet.

So who's talking shit? Them or the guys on here?

I had a look at one in Hand F down here in Dunners

So they are here.

Seemed pretty cool, price not so much $4199 and new price I think to be $4800, possibly the dollar slide.

Anyway, I am reluctant to go lighter than my 18" Howa with carbon stock, had a play with the super light Kimber and although nice to carry I did not like the feel of it shouldered and for off hand, too light!

Each to their own

Cheers

I would say our local shop, the shitness is legendary.

Who actually does have one on the shelf?
Preferably SI

Saw one in H & F New Plymouth last week

H&F Palmerston North has one

Calibers?

Palmy has a 7 08 ( they had two, the 308 sold straight away ) but the Latte rifle is still there, thought it might have been snapped up by now.
