I have a Sako 85s Finnlight in 308 Winchester.Without a doubt the best I have ever handled.The ejection problems seemed to be with certain long and short magnum actions.My rifle has never had any issues.Some will complain about the optic mounting system.I'll admit finding a nice system can take some experimenting.I settled with Conetrol mounts and rings and a Leupold VX3 2.5-8 x whatever.Scoped up AND loaded it's a C hair over 7 pounds.IMHO that's a dream compared to the 10 pound 444Marlin I used to lug around.
I don't think I need to look for something lighter that may not fit and function as well to knock off a pound or two.That money would be better spent getting LIGHTER BOOTS.Carrying a seven pound rifle never wore me out.But heavy shoes will.Save your money and get a standard Finnlight NOS.I've seen them going for under a grand which is a steal.BTW I'm average frame 6ft 160lbs and the Finnlight is "right there" when you pull it up.Big advantage there if you need to shoot fast.
Good luck with your quest.
