    Hi Tec Composites Carbon Stock

    Took delivery yesterday of a new Hi-Tec Carbon Stock for my Sako Finnlight 85M.

    Couldn't be happier with Hi-Tec's product. I have a couple of other carbon stocks including a Stug, which I have no complaints about at all, but the Hi-Tec has easily the best finish.

    Hi-Tec also re-bedded the new Stock, and my Sako now feels "tighter".

    Not getting paid for this - just thought I'd give credit where credit is due...

    I rate my Hi Tec stock too! Great finish and solid feeling stock. Wish I could have tried one of stugs stocks though!

    Mine is pretty similar to factory stock shape, however you can get them with a higher comb and more vertical grip.

    Would be keen for one for my Sako 75 6.5 swede - got the older heavy plastic stock currently.

    It's in the works apparently...

    +1 beautifully made and finished stocks. Good comb height too. Not as light as stug's old stocks though.

    Yes, very similar.

    (Although as Liam says you can order them a bit different to the factory shape if you want)

    Its the process he uses using carbon cloth that is inpregnated (prepreg) with resin then baked...and just does a nice job of it.

    Yes they are. These are older ones but I have the newer ones as well and have never had an issue personally.

    Cool thread fellas.
    Thanks for the info.
    I have been considering a new stock for a bit now so by the sounds of things these are the go.
    @Dreamer what is the stock model show in your picture please? I like the look of the grip contour and the higher combing. Cheers
