    No worries to me I just answered your question mate.
    Personally I'd rather no gun at all than a forbes😁

    The scales wont tell you how well they handle tho

    I found it was nice and centre weighted,
    Stock makes it very easy to setup for off hand shots as its kinda sticks in your hand

    I felt one in a shop and the palm swell was quite pronounced but in the wrong place for my hand.

    As well as the lightness i would hope for stable bedding.

    Was Luckily enough to be given Brads 260 to have a play with

    I love the feel of the stock & it looks awesome, The palm swell / pistol grip is quite thick and the stock is fairly big in general length ( especially in pull ) but it comes up bwety. If I only had one alrounder this would definitely be near the top of the list.

    It's not a super ultra lightweight with the fitted 2-12 VX6 scope ( a scoped sub 7lb 500y+ rifle is nothing to sneeze at though ) & it's a nice scope that suits the rifle really well.



    Here's some comparison pics - Suppressed Kimber 7-08 VXR scope, Sako Carbonlight 260 VX6 & Weatherby 30-06 tim Z5 swarvo.

    you mention a long length of pull, do you know if it is longer than a finnlight? looks longer than the weatherby?
