    Sako Stocks

    I have a short action Sako AII.
    Thinking of a new stock, (maybe)
    Other than a Mc Millan what are the options?

    Since the older Sako actions (591?? whatever) are very similar to the Howa 1500, I'd imagine you could make them fit in a stock inletted for a Howa with some work.


    Otherwise, buy a McMillan

    Don't listen to him, function matters more than form. Thumbhole stocks reduce felt recoil and I like the extra control on trigger release. Worth a look.

    Oversize bolt knob is function based. Also his comment was purely about how it would look.

    They do make the bolt function very well but in a hunting rifle they are a real pain as they catch on everything they come in contact with ie: bush, clothing, packs etc
    1000yds is fun, 1500yds is getting interesting, 2000yds is exciting, 2500yds will blow your mind

    About midway down is the Sako 75 Hunter and a bit further is a Sako Thumbhole which could do with a Leathel paint job

    HighTech Specialties make inlet for the older Sako rifles. Norway had one on a Forrester for his Budget LR Rifle build. I've just been quoted $307USD shipped to NZ.

    Norway's Rifle.
