    Yip, that was me. Then @gimp provided an accurate weight for a "S" actioned Finnlight.

    They make a "alpine" version now too, I reckon it would be cheaper than the Sako and most like you would get one faster as well
    and is only a little heavier too

    I had a fondle of one of these Sako's today & yes it's cool and real prutty

    The stock has a very nice finish & feel ( quite thick through the pistol grip / palm swell ) and the action seems to have been trimmed a bit over the standard 85 ( Im no Sako expert though )


    I'd have one
    Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!

    I had a look at one last week and thought the same thing. The stock has a real "Grippy" feel to it which I like. It has an unusual/different forend as well. Sort of like an old Brno/Parker hale...sort of. And yes it had a decent size pistol grip. not like some of the skinny offerings out there today. Still at about $4200 A tikk and a carbon fibre stock would be as good and save you a HELL of a lot of $$$$.
