Just see on Kens FB page today. I recall a thread where a few people were asking if he was going to do one. These will make for a cool wee rig :)

@Tommy yeah stink he's said he won't do them for the heavy barrel 300blk version. May have to stick with the factory stock for mine.Quote:

Yeah he said ‘there is no reason it can’t be inletted for the heavier barrel version’
Ok you Howa mini owners, can one of you please tell me the action screw spacing in mm please? Rear tang screw to front action screw....cheers.

The Grendel in one of these stocks and the flush bottom metal looks to be the perfect lightweight bush gun to me.
7.62x39 punches above its weight as well I have found,if I didn’t already have a.308 I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one of these.
I currently have one modeled in Solidworks.. for a lightweight chassis project, 171.5mm is the exact measurement of holes center to center.Quote:

You're thinking the same as me I guess. Ken said any gunsmith should be able to inlet for the A1, though you would need to jig for it. If he could get an inletting file for the CNC to suit the Sako, I'd imagine he could do it.Quote:

Action weight 1633g
Stock weight ~ 600g stated
2233g bare.
$1820
Yeh?
Now 55six just needs to sort the import for the Jefferson bottom metal and we are there. But it likely pushes it over ~$2100
Add rings and low weight scope and you get to 2.6kg scoped pretty easily.
