No problem at all, Safariman. I'm really pretty much with you...I really like the Sako action...will likely sell some other firearms to pick up another L461 if I can.

Question came up for me when I ran into a very nice synthetic stocked custom Vixen. Price is REALLY high, so I thought I look into a 'project'.

Of course, my wife also really likes the little Sako just as it is...again, sounds like I need to find one in less-than-perfect shape which I could feel a little better playing with.

And thanks for the welcome. I've been reading the Campfire for quite a while, just don't write much. --wil--
