Do reloaders bring them in themselves or do they go via Beretta NZ?

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

I remember seeing a price of $4199 on the fully wooded Bavarian carbine, a retail price increase of $1100 for another
twelve inches of wood....bullshit IMO.

Sako 85 Carbonlight (S) Factory claimed weight 2400g (Action 2025g & Stock 375g)

Did you see that? STOCK WEIGHT OF 375g!

Good luck finding ANY aftermarket stock that weighs that little.

The prof will be when someone gets one and weighs it as we all know published weights are bullshit.

Finnlight 85 is 2.64kg .260

Advertised 2.8 not 2.9

I agree the price is rediculous but it doesn't seem out of line with prices in the US. Euro Optics have it listed at $2900 (yeah, I know, you never end up paying the ist price from them) but using it as rough guide that translates to about $3800nzd. 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-$5k

That might be the case but Beretta NZ is not paying for export permits ex US so you shouldn't have to factor that in, or freight for that matter.

$2900 USD = $3900NZD+GST = $4485. Guess the other $700 just comes from the fact that we are in a small market thats easy to shaft.

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

NIce, but not enough to justify the price above the Finnlite
