    Surely sako have a part number for the carbonlite stock

    Just buy the stock and fit it to any model 85 short action for the 08 case.

    Thus making your own Carbonlite.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Well @BRADS, I handled one in the shop this afternoon. Bugger me if my arms and hands didn't go up when the sales guy let go of it. Scary light. The sort of firearm you would want to only carry in your mitts; if it was on your shoulder you'd be turning around every couple of minutes thinking you'd lost the thing.
