The stock on any rifle is so easy to replace. My new Sako 85 is the second of two to have its factory stock turn into a sticky mess. The barreled actions, being the business center of the guns, are the finest commercial rifles I own. I have one custom stocked & the other soon to be. These are near $1600 each & should never have had any issues.
No way I would pass on the gun over a stock problem.
