This rifle feed and ejects perfectly. Extremely hard to find in this configuration. I shot approximately 35 rounds through it. Mostly GMX handloads. The rifle is in 98%+ condition. Asking $1400 shipped to your FFL. Caliber: 6.5x55 Sako 85 Adjustable Trigger 14” LOP - Factory Standard 22” Barrel 1-8” twist. Handles 140 LRAB with no issues Last edited by Sakohunter264; 05/31/23.

Black grip areas against the black satin-like stock create a stunning profile.

I am wondering the same thing. Never seen a Finnlight that wasn't stainless. A stunning rig any way you slice it though. Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
