    They're £1390 sterling depending on where you go... Also, if you're going 300mag i'd factor in the price of a muzzle-break! :D

    .300 mag is fine if the rifle weighs about 9.5 pounds or more. No need for brakes. They just generate noise.

    I love them myself. When I sent my .270 application away it was for a Sako 85- when the permit came back I didn't have the money- so Howa 1500 it was!

    The 85 looks class in stainless laminate...

    A finnlight in 300mag, that has to kick?! I'm not a prospective buyer, my .270 is More than powerful enough for any shooting I'll ever be doing!
    I actually don't regret not getting the 85, the Howa has a McMillen and it stands fair abuse, whereas I'd have to treat an 85 like a newborn baby (that's A LOT of money to me!)
