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

I'll watch replies with interest, for an option to replace my 75 IV action stock.
Watching also. Wouldn't mid a thumbhole stock. Not sure how wanky it would look

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

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

That's why I have one on a varmint rifleQuote:
