Less expensive than a Finnlight....
And not the same thing at all. The Sako is a fluted with a trilug bolt, and magazine system in stainless. Its purpose is a lighter alternative to Sako's other offerings and they are very accurate.
This is an ADL rig that is not fluted, has two lugs and is CM steel. In a very nice hand laid stock I might add all for the purpose of bering uber ultra light and accurate.
Two different horses entirely, so I am trying to see your point?
BTW thanks for the news Clay that is very exciting. Let me know when the SS magnum bolt models make it here in 2016 and I am in! I have too many \06 bases LWs in the safe right now...
Junkies have tracks and that's icky. :
Would be nice if I could get their craptastic web catalogue to load. 100 mbps connection and nothin'. downeastdigitalcinema - awesome job, boys.
I would think that caling them 'entirely different' is a bit of an exageration. Someone in the market for a lightweight hunting rig could lump these into their choices along with the Finnlight, Montana, 700MTN etc for an off the shelf and not too expensive 'mountain rifle'.
The biggest difference of course being the Sako has the DBM. Flutes vs no flutes is a moot point and contributes nothing to being 'entirely different'. The three lug bolt vs 2 also has little to no bearing on it intended purpose as a lightweight hunting rig.
The one of these compared to say a drilling is 'entirely diferent' but other than some aesthetic differences I fail to see how the Finnlight and the Forbes are not 2 bolt guns within the same class of rifle category.
Looking forward for the pictures, i like nice accurate rifles... Even in 30-06... JP.
