I had a 85 Greywolf(338 Fed).True it was noticably heavier than my Finnlight(308Win),but not bad.A tad over 7#,bare naked.But it was light by the standard Mod.444 Marlin I lugged around for years.
Everything said about their quality and performance equals my results.The Sako is the best I've used yet.Total confidence.
BTW Optilock RINGMOUNTS (one piece) are the way to go.

Sorry,I drank the Sako-Aid.My opinion may be biased.
