The wood is walnut and is oil finished to complete that late Central European aesthetic. This time it is encased in a rich brown wooden stock. We get the ever-reliable, accurate, and versatile Saka 85 action. The wooden stock, the reliability, and accuracy of Saka rifles makes this gun an essential for those who love the late Central European look.Īnd the Bavarian is an eclectic mix of innovation and reliability, with a fair dose of tradition thrown in for good measure. Next, we have a Sako with a design and build quality, made to sate both the hunting rifles fanatics and the purists, the 85 Bavarian bolt action rifle chambered in. The former locks the bolt when it is engaged, and the latter is essentially a dedicated button that unlocks the bolt while the bolt lock safely remains in place, so a safe and secure unloading process. We are getting a bolt lock safety and a bolt unlock safety as standard. There is a lot of leeway in terms of safety. The action post-break is smooth, so you know exactly when you have pulled the trigger (excuse the pun). We are happy to report that there was no noticeable creep, and the break is very clean at the shooter’s pull. The receiver comes with dove-tailed mounts machined into itself so you can go about and attach an optical sight or scope of your liking.įurthermore, the trigger itself is single-stage and adjustable. Moreover, this Sako also features a plunger ejector within the bolt and comes with their proprietary extractor. This greatly increases the cycling speed and helps protect the shooters from lodging onto the gap between the scope and the bolt handle. The receiver is also made out of solid stainless steel and featured a three-lug bolt, which only requires a 70-degree rotation action to engage. And the fluting does help bring down the weight tremendously and helps with the overall weight distribution of the rifle. The barrel, as we have said earlier, is a fluted one and is constructed of standardized stainless steel. Let us take a scrutinizing look at the barrel and the action. It is coated in a soft-touch finishing that further aids grip and carry.

The polymer is very rigid and very weather resistant. It manages to be extremely rugged at the same instance with its synthetic black stock made out of a reinforced polymer. So as you can imagine, being lightweight and greatly balanced is one of Finnlights strong suits.

And the fluted barrel helps bring the weight down even further. The Finnlight is uber lightweight, making use of stainless steel construction and a synthetic stock. Make note that is not the Finnlight II but rather the OG Finnlight 85. First up on our list, we have the Finnlight from Saka.
