McMillan stock on a CZ - 11/12/07
I'm still cipherin' the differences between a synthetic stocked, stainless steel Model 85 Sako (in either 9.3X62, or in 9.3X66 Sako, and a CZ in 9.3 X 62.
I like synthetic stocks for our backcountry, and if I go for the CZ (which I gather, is about half the price of the stainless synthetic Sako) I could use the saved money to spring for a McMillan stock - perhaps even the Edge variety, to bring down the heavy CZ to a weight more like the Sako.
Anyone done this - what are your thoughts.
I know this isn't a "good reason" to avoid a certain rifle - but I hate the looks of the hump-backed CZ's and would have to either put up with wood (not what I want for B.C.s wet regions) or get the "American" style stock - if I don't re-stock it with a synthetic stock.
What do y'all think?
