I didn't know you could get a finnlight in 7 mag.  Not sure of barrel length  but if the length is less than 26 inches I would not touch it.  Long magnums need long barrels.  I have the finnlight in both 7-08 and 270 and both will put 5 shots in a quarter at 100 yards!!!

My suggestion would get a short action in a finnlight but if your heart is set on a long magnum I would get a "full sized" Sako.

This is also the problem I see in the "lite" series. . . short barrels.  I had a Sako stainless/walnut (not made anymore) in 7mm.  It was a MOA shooter and a beautiful rifle.  My buddy had one just like it and traded it  (not sure about the caliber but was bigger than the 7mm) in a Finnlite.  After a couple of months he traded it because  of the short barrel.  He felt like br does magnums need a longer barrel.
