    Sako Carbonlight vs Finnlight

    So rather than hijacking the thread below (Sako S20), Id be keen on any opinions one way or the other on the virtues of the Finnlight vs the Carbonlight .
    Started to think it might be time for a change up to one or the other

    personally I'm a big fan of the carbonlight but that's just aesthetics for me it's probably lighter too I guess

    They both shoot the same, carbonlights are a bit lighter but not much, for me its just the cool factor

    My grandfather inoculated me at birth against The Cool Factor and consequently I am immune to massively overpriced blinged up Sako 85s, no matter how light they are.

    Just be careful were you choose to get your carbonlight from some of the prices these days are crazy considering your only saving 250 odd grams
