    Sorry Cam I won't be selling the two finnlights I have for one of those that price is over the top.
    Also I don't do fads, I still have a blaser and some sakos, people just follow

    Why are you all surprised about the price? That's exactly how lightweight works, The last few grams cost the most!

    Till they bring out a new model 300gm lighter and significantly dearer once they have become popular.Only the sako name is the difference.

    Thanks for that clarification @gimp.

    I found a video clip online with a Sako rep weighing a Carbonlight stock - 675g, 200g lighter than the current Finnlight stock.
    So 2.44Kg is not too far fetched at all then.

    I had a good long look at a M20B today - They just don't do it for me at all.

    I like that the carbon appeared to be fully wrapped threw the bedding and barrel channel (maybe even the mag well?)

    5k, fuck me. Then you'd feel silly putting anything less than a 2-3k scope on it. 7-8k rifle unsuppressed.

    I had the cash but couldnt even justify to myself the jump from X-Bolt to 85 Finnlight. First they wanted double the price, now more than triple haha.

    4k I could at least understand although it'd still be ridiculous. 5k they can just fuck off .
