Did anyone figure out who made these stocks? Beretta is closing out synthetic Mato stocks for $99. I'm wondering if they'd fit a regular commercial Mauser action with minor modification? http://www.berettausa.com/en-us/beretta-synthetic-stock-for-mato-rifle/ud5a0125/

I think it's a deal under $1000. 97s sell for a lot more than that and that's what the rifle is really.

i've had a Mato in 270 about 10 years and absolutely love it. accuracy better than MOA, super trigger, quality synthetic stock, 3 position wing safety. one and only downside is it is a tad heavy so I use it primarily when hunting from a stand for whitetails, not if I'm doing a lot of walking. recommended an identical one to a hunting pal and he feels the same about his: almost 1 hole accuracy @100 yards. like to find one in 300 WM.

Hey, I'm bringing back an oldie but a goodie. I will soon be acquiring a 7mm Mag Mato from a member on the fire.
Does anyone out there have one of the walnut stocks that Beretta purged a few years ago? I'm a little younger and missed that whole thing, lol. I am very interested in buying one. Midwest has them still for sale, but for $650. I have a new baby and can't even come close to affording that. I'm looking around $250. That's just my budget and a profit for someone who bouhgt one of the purged ones.
Thanks in advance, JW

What is heavy? I have looked at one in 300 win mag, it has the synthetic stock.

The 7mm mag bare rifles came in at a little under 7lbs 11ozs. A little more for a larger mag, of course. Similar to most rifles compared I guess. I was looking at a late nineties super grade M70 300 mag and it weighed in at 8.25lbs, comparatively. I really wanted this one, because of the action and barrel. Oh, and the price was right.
Hopefully there is a Walnut stock out there somewhere (anyone?), that way I am approaching what that super grade look could have been.

Always wanted a Mato in 280 I have one of those in .280. Have yet to shoot it. My friend tells me his 30-06 is a tack driver. Makes me want one in '06 in that I haven't had great luck with cartridge

A buddy of mine said that he had one that actually said Dakota on the side of the action, I haven't seen it to verify that. The later action's look to be made by someone else...
Yes there are Dakota Arms marked 97 actions, however Beretta in Maryland also manufactured a version of the Dakota 97 action.
