Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Pictures - Sako 85 in a McMillan Stock

Sam,

Momentary delay - what a crapola -

I was changing out the low Opti-Locks with the X-Low's, took off the old rings and was getting ready to put on the new ones and found out one of the new rings has a ring screw hole stipped out (SHOOT).

But it gets better, as I was putting the old rings back on I spun the allen key in one of the ring screw heads - damn soft screws!

I decided to take a break before I broke anything else.

McMillan has my 85 Finnlight as we speak. They're dropping it in a Sako Classic in the Edge technology with full install that includes the pillar bedding. I'm excited about getting it back!! I hope mine looks as good as yours.

OCC, That should be sweet. Almost as sweet as this old Av... Grin

very very nice, can you specify the LOP on these stocks? A Sako finlight in one would be very nice, the regular finnlight stock has too long LOP for me.

Nice, very nice....

Makes me want a new Sako badly!

Yeah, like a Sako 85 finnlite 270 wsm sitting in a Sako Classic edge.

I am thinking a M85 Stainless/synthetic in 338Win, with a Mickey.
Sweet...

Mine is 13.5".
It is a mid 80's Fiberclass that has been electroless nickled.
I am looking forward to pics of OCC's when it comes back.
Hard to not love a Sako.

Sid Gray,

those stainless conetrols look awesome. What grade are your dap tar bases???

could be a less expensive way to an accurate semicustom gun, a stock upgrade on an 85 finnlight is interesting, the actions are pretty good, everyone says they are accurate, but I did not like the factory stock in construction or LOP.

Those are out of the bin bases that a hunting pard contoured for me. They are actually electroless nickle in a satin.
They look better than Conetrols stainless bases and rings.

Lordy, that is nice.

Thanks, Sam

good lookin rig
