    Ardee sport company are agents for sako and tikka.
    Give them a ring and they will sort you out.

    Have a look at their gun catalogue.

    Unless they have taken a serious cut in price a new finnlight for 1200 sounds a bit too good to be true, I have had an 85 stainless synthetic in 30-06 and my mate had the same gun in 308 and neither one would group consistently with a any round we tried, after I did some diy work on the stock to free float the barrel it was better but I never had confidence in it, I have since sold it and never looked back, that is only my experience with the 85, I know several guys with 75s and they are the biz,

    As I stated in a recent thread, my friend had issues with the stock on his 85 finnlight. An aftermarket stock resolved this issue. The forend was very fixable resulting in poor groups particularly when a bipod was used.

    Is it a Finnlight 85? As this is a different stock.

    This was discussed in a recent thread.
