sako finnlight .308

[dorsetveni]

So I am new to deer stalking and will be purchasing my first centre fire rifle shortly (if all goes to plan).

The rifle I am looking at is the Sako 75 finnlight in .308

 

I have read lots of good reviews on the sako 75 and have handled other 75's though not the finnlight.

My only concern is the weight....being such a light rifle is the recoil likely to be an issue in this calibre?

The rifle is moderated.

 

Also is the lighter rifle likely to cause me an issue if I am using it on range days?

I am not looking to enter competitions, just for pleasure.

It's just perfect and 308 with a moderator is not a probleme.

Buy it if the price is right.

You won't regret it.

Do a bit of research when choosing a mod.

I had a Finnlight in .243 which, unmoderated did suffer from muzzle flip, but with a T8 was superb. There is now a lot more choice regarding moderators than when I had mine.

 

I loved the non slip stock, trigger and DM together with typical out of the box accuracy of .6MOA with factory loads - with and without mod.
