Sako finnlight (2011) comes with a new stock....different recoil pad and the cheek piece is an integral part of the stock...not removable for left hand version. The colour and material is also slightly different. The new sock is definitely much better.

Sako Finnlight in 6.5 Swede with my brand spankin' new McM. Edge. (Saved 4 ounces from the Sako Finnlight stock.)

I am very impressed by smoothness of action, overall finish on metal.

6 lbs 12 ounces with Leupold rings and 2.5x8 VX-III scope in the new stock.

Does the lower comb on your edge give you any trouble compared to the Sako comb?

The Sako stock being rubbbery, the comb had "rubbed" through the rubber on the sharp edges.

The Edge seems to line up with the scope just fine for me, and I prefer to not have the sticky, rubbery feeling comb against my face.

The ergonomics of either suit me just fine.

Thanks for your reply. My last 85 is basically a chrome moly Finnlight with Rechnagel sights. I'm running a 30mm scope and used the lowest Optilocks I could get, which are their new 1-piece ringmounts. These mounts place the scope tube center 1.64" above the bore centerline.

When using an aperture sighting tube mounted within these ringmounts in lieu of the scope, the 1.64" height is near ideal for my line of sight when using the factory Sako comb. I have an Edge on my old M70, and several have suggested I replace this factory Sako stock with one. But, I was concerned the comb height on the Edge models which may save me a bit of weight would drop my line of sight too low. Thanks for your input.
