Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Sako 75 Finnlight?

What I like about mine is you have 5 rounds in the mag and 1 in the tube. Can you hold 6 with those fat wsms?

Thanks for all the feedback. I was looking at the one in the Free Classifieds, it's a .260 and quite a deal. I just can't see a barrel shorter than 22" on the .260 - it's not a blazing fast round to begin with.

Anyhow, the rifle in the classifieds comes with a 3.5-10x44 Conquest Z-Plex scope and is unfired, shipped for $1550. Someone should jump on it.

In my .260 finnlight, I'm getting 2725 fps with 130 gr. Accubombs, and about 100 feet faster with the 120 gr. TSX's - all into dime sized groups. Should be more than enough to kill anything I'm going to point it at out to 300 yards (Antelope, deer, cow elk).



As for the rig in the classifieds - nice rifle, nice scope, but seems a bit high to me.

My take on the deal was:

$1100 unfired rifle.
$750 scope + rings.

$1550 including shipping seems pretty darned reasonable. ;-)

$950 for rifle, $500 for scope and rings would wrap it up for me (if I had the scratch)...

Personally, I'm a cheap sob who will try to chisel the ice cream man down on a pack of bubblegum.

Start with a low offer, you can always go up.

anyone know what they weigh in the wsm's?

Thx

I have a 75 Finnlight in 270 WSM that weighs 6# 14.0 oz. on a postage scale. I have a 85 Finnlight in 300 WSM that weighs
6# 6.6 oz. on the same scale. Both have 24 3/8 in, barrels.
I used Conetrol Daptar SS Low 30mm scope mts. which weigh 4.6 oz.

I've used the loopy mounts for sako with no problems on 2 rifles.

I haven't put them on a scale, but I know they're less than the opti-locks.

I have had 3 Sakos, and all have been great shooters with almost any ammo, factory or handloads. All my rifles were/are M75, not the Finnlight but I would imagine things are just as good with the Finnlights
