I've heard that this new B&C stock will eventually become available to the public. If you are heck bent for leather to duplicate a Tecomate on the cheap, I'd locate an original A7 wsm for cheap, have someone flute the barrel, and then add the B&C stock when they come out. But personally, I see no advantage in this as the original rifle will shoot lights out accurate, is a bit lighter, and you'd save the expense of the added modifications.

As noted previously, if you are willing to pay current top dollar for an ST or Tecomate, you probably should be looking at an 85 Finnlight.

Curious, where are you seeing an ST wsm for 9 bills?

Dang!!!
That is HIGH for what I have seen them sell for USED or old stock
on Marks Outdoors web site mostly in the mid $500 range.
I e-mailed Bell and Carlson about buying a Tecomate stock from
them.
The company rep wrote me back stating that they do make the stock for the Sako Model Tecomate rifle but they WERE NOT ALLOWED
BY SAKO!!!!!!!!!
To sell it to the general public!!!!!!!!!

Subject: Sako A7 Tecomate Stock



Will you offer the Sako A7 Tecomate stock that you make for the Sako Tecomate rifle available

for sale to the general public?

Will it fit any Sako A7 rifle caliber?

Will the Sako A7 rifle barrel need to be fluted for the barrel contour channel on your stock to fit the barrel?

We do manufacture a stock for that action but Sako does not allow us to sell it to the public.

OK.
I thought you were speaking of an Finnlight ST. An A7 ST for 9 bills is high.
The price for a Tecomate is just too high. If your patient you can find a new Finnlight ST for $1300 +- $50. That's where I'd put my money....
As for Alex, he has decent prices from time to time.

I know this thread is long gone, but has anyone had success with an aftermarket stock on their Sako A7?

I put an Edge on mine this Spring, bedded it and opened up the barrel channel. Good to go now.

The Edge is a little thicker through the mid-section of the stock versus the original though.
