Is that a Hunter? What rifle is in it?


Sako 75 in 30-06 and coated in Birdsong Black-T. Yes, definitely a plus. Finding a LH Sako in a LGS is like finding a gold hens tooth.

Nice rifle.

I just picked up a older L61R Finnbear in 30-06. Heavy fugger. The plan is to put it in a McMillan and rebore to 9.3x62. You ever run the Sako Classic? Kinda torn 'tween the Classic and the Hunter.

I may have to keep it 06 for a while though!

M70 New Hunter ordered in Jan. Not expecting to use it this hunting season. Edge fill w/speckletone finish. First Micky for me - I'm hoping good things come to those who wait.

No, only done two so far, both Sako 75's so have stayed true to that pattern. The other, formerly a Gray Wolf, which was heavy as hell. The McMillan shaved a pound off just in standard fill.

I ordered mine on Dec 26th, talked to McMillan a couple of weeks ago, and they said it should be ready first part of July.

What model stock and for what action? Just curious. They tend to do them in batches.

Hah! Doubting they had a huge run of LH Game Scouts for Pierce LA's!

I'd like to may with a Gamescout. They look like they'd be pretty sweet.

I think McMillan has been claiming 4-5 months for the last 5 years, haha. Just count on 8 and you won't get impatient.

They do the runs according to stock design, not inletting. Mcmillan builds a lot more Game Scouts than say, Ruger R series stocks. Thus you are more likely to get a popular stock design quicker than one which is less so.
