Title: Sako Finnlight
Post by: Thehowler on June 26, 2012, 02:32:20 PM: Anybody have any experience with the Sako 85 Finnlight in 270. The one I looked at today has the stainless fluted barrel with the composite stock. Looks like a very high quality rifle.

I had it down to the a7 and the finnlight and went with the a7 in 270wsm because of the killer deal I got on it. The sako rifles are about as good as it gets :tup:

I am in a lot of professional programs threw out the hunting industry. So I get some killer deals.

Only draw back is the extra mags are expensive. I believe I paid $70 a piece for them.
I love this rifle, you will not be disappointed.

Their prices have gone way up, you might be able to find them cheaper somewhere else.
