I called Marks, Simmons, Caliber, Nichols and they all didn’t know if they would have them or just the regular Finnlight.

I ended up going down to a Tikka Superlite at $750 from Sportsmans Warehouse in Chattanooga which if I remember correctly is actually slightly lighter than a Finnlight. https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting/rifles/tikka-t3x-superlite-rifle/p/p46876 Or I thought about going big baller and buying a Carbonlight...then I came to my senses and realized I don't need to spend that sorta money and it won't kill any better than a Superlite. https://www.eurooptic.com/sako-85-c...8-rem-2025in-bbl-95in-twist-jrscf52.aspx

Didn’t have the adjustable comb so it was probably not the II

I want to see and hold the Finnlight II to decide if I want to buy one. Its not necessarily about what will kill one better, this is a want not a need.

Looks like the Finnlight IIs are $2300ish & Carbonlights are $2900ish per EuroOptic. $600 isn't anything to sneeze at but if you've already spent north of $2K, what's another $600 I suppose. I'm an absolute sucker for carbon fiber, so that's heavily biasing my opinion.

If nothing else, maybe the old finnlights will get a little cheaper.

Those carbonlights are NICE, but for that much I could build custom with a McMillan edge stock and probably have a more accurate rifle in any caliber I want.
