Thanks for the compliments. This is a fine rifle. I do believe it’s coated stainless.

Is that a Finnlight II or blued steel?

Eurooptic sold these. I do believe they are a coated version of the Finnlight. They certainly weren’t any less money.

I have no idea. I got info from my buddy. He later said they may not be. I’ve never seen a carbon steel barrel from Sako that was fluted. Who know without scratching the barreled action to see what’s under there…and no one is going to do that. I know Hamrick on this page has one still and it’s shoots lights out. I’m going out on a limb here but if Jason (Sakohunter264) says it’s good to go, it’s good to go! His collection of rifles is remarkable.
Regards,

Sako is a top notch guy. Either stainless/carbon it is great rifle with a durable coated finish that I am sure shoots better than most of us can shoot it.

Thanks for the good comments. This rifle shoots as good as it looks. I’m going to leave this up today and hank it off the market in the AM. Having sellers remorse is no fun.

I have the same rifle in 308. Unlike the previous 308’s with 20” barrels, the Finnlight II had 22” barrels. After 4 years, the stock is still nice, no signs of sticky.
The Finnlight II is a cerakoted, stainless gun.

A little push in the back never hurts!
I like it. I shouldn’t be such a cheap a$$ and just buy the dang thing. I’m taking the kids to Yellowstone in a month and I’m sure that’s gonna cost me however lol

I have a stainless Sako 85 chambered in 260. It's a damn fine rifle, one of my favorites. Shoots bug holes with 139gr Lapua scenars and 142gr Sierra matchkings. If I didn't have the 260, I would be all over this one.
Bump for a real nice rifle in a great caliber.

Still for sale. I priced the rifle to sell. They are virtually unobtainable these days.
Thanks.
