OP Bill_N Campfire Tracker B Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 3,206 CT	I had a couple questions on the pad - The original Sako recoil pads were soft and prone to deterioration. The ones I've had on all my older Sako's were flattened to varying degrees and/or cracked. The only replacement option was a look alike pad like a Pachmayr 325 until Beretta came out with the Model 85 Finnbear. They made a run of these pads that were used on the new Finnbears and the surplus pads were available from Brownells for a short time. The pad on this gun came from that run made by Beretta.

Mine has the black plastic buttplate and no engraving. I like mine, but I can’t stop looking at this one. Good luck to the seller and whoever buys this beauty
