I don't have an 85 but, I do have a 75 Finnlight. Well it's kind of a Finlight still as I had it re-barreled as soon as I got it so the short fluted barrel is gone. I paid $950.00 out the door for a new one.

The stocks are injected modled. The have a good fit but, like oldelkhunter stated they should be hand laid in this price range. The 75 stock is way better than the 85 in that it has a nice palm swell where the 85 does not. The 85 synthetic has a straight comb and that check peice that has thin slots cut in the side so that it can flex some. I filled my 75's stock (in the back) with expanding foam it eliminate that hollow sound. Not sure I'd do that on the 85 with those slots.

I like the magazine on the 85, making it harder to come out by accident. They are well made guns with nice triggers and a shorter bolt lift. Their actions are smoother than most and have a nice feel to them.

The dealer that I bought my 75 from still has a few left in several models and calibers.
