The only "negative" I will say is that as much as I love the sako classic (I also have one on my Weatherby 375) the forearm grip is a bit thick. I always thought it was fine.... until I started shooting a Hi Tech Specialty Stock which as a much nicer forearm contour.

Did you do the bedding on the stock? Did you use the factory recoil lug or does Mcmillan supply a steel lug? Thanks in advance


The McMillan does come with a steel lug in the stock. The one in the picture that I got from stockys was cut very well with no major gaps or anything like that - very good fit. I take all my rifles to my local smith for bedding. He bedded the lug area and the tang.



DId your gunsmith bed over the lug so it is sandwiched between lug and bottom of reciever or did he remove the lug attach it to the receiver with clear epoxy and then bed the lug into the stock?
