    Great rifle BTW

    Finnlight 75 bedded in a Mcmillan stock and a Zeiss z800 4.5 x 14 scope, they shoot well.

    Don't mind the flier, bonehead with a muzzlebreak next to me.

    7 Rem Mag.. with Swaro Z6 30mm tube
    no problems so far but only have 3 boxes through it.
    My problem is I might have to get the L.O.P. shortened..
    Local gunsmith said it would be cheaper to buy a new stock.

    Re: Question about Sako Finlight

    Are the issues being referenced the result of the ejection angle and the brass contacting the scope? I have used a Zeiss HD5 3-15, Varix-3 3.5-10, and a swaro z5 and not had any issues at all. My first Finnlight shot a .5" group with factory ammo on my first trip to the range with it, shots 3-6 respectively. I fell in love at that point. I have never had a single fail to eject issue with any of my 4 Sako rifles over 15 years of ownership.

    Hey Bill,

    Neither the 7-08 topped with the optilock rings and a swaro z3 or the .375 H&H kodiak with opti's and a Zeiss Victory have any issues. If you're looking for new go talk to Omer at Precision.

    Re: Question about Sako Finlight

    I had a 7mm rem mag that wouldn’t eject very forcefully and found it hitting my scope. Had a new extracted installed if I remember right and still had the same issue. Ended up putting on a medium ring instead of low mount. Still didn’t eject right. Then the stock finish pealed and it got traded in for something else. Was a nice light rifle that shot though, just wouldn’t eject
