Is that Sako an early one with the two piece fore arm? I've always thought about getting one of those.It must work well as it is laying next to a dead animal as it should be...!! Thanks for joining in, guys. Talking about the sights,I once saw one that had been Magna-ported,it appeared to have some "charred" wood to go along with it....

Some beautiful full stock rifles here. I luv em. Rifle, Thanks for starting the thread. There were several full stock rifles in my house when I was a kid growing up, and they have a special place for me.

Seeing a full stock rifle with no front sight really jars my nerves! Something's wrong there! Bruce I was thinking the same, in fact a FS with just a front sight and Lyman or Redfield steel receiver sight looks the "rightest" to me. If a scope goes on, it needs to be a small straight tube. .

U nailed it!! That's how my Step Dad's full stock rifles of yesteryear were set up; front and rear(Redfield Peep) iron sights, with Lyman Alaskan scopes.

[quote=rifle]Is that Sako an early one with the two piece fore arm? I've always thought about getting one of those.It must work well as it is laying next to a dead animal as it should be...!! Yes, it's the two piece forend. I've had it apart to have the rebore job done and to install the recoil pad. The steel hangar they use is pretty unique. Here's another cow elk it downed. The herd fed out into a meadow just before dark and paraded right past me at maybe 40-50 yards. You have to watch out that you don't have two side by side or that Nosler will will do double duty. I've never had one stay in a carcass.

I know Ruger and CZ still offer full-stocked bolt action rifles.

Stocked by a friend and barrel cut. Added a 3 position safety (I didn't want one but he insisted), otherwise the rest is factory.

Seeing a full stock rifle with no front sight really jars my nerves! Something's wrong there! That rifle is mine. The bottom rifle is more of the "classic" full stock with carbine length barrel and open sights. I had the 7x57 for a while and decided to stock a custom .257 Roberts with a full stock. I wanted something different, something no one else had. I knew it would wear a scope and be used in typical deer hunting scenarios. It is a longer than "classic" barrel. It has a large cheekpiece that is not typical for full stocks and is made from a laminated blank. And, as you have noticed, it has no front sight. I didn't feel the need as long as I knew it would be scoped only. If I ever get rid of it, the next guy can put on whatever he feels like putting on, and he can carve the stock into whatever he feels like carving it into. In the meantime, I guess I have the only full stock rifle without a front sight. You don't have to like it. It's mine. It does shoot Barnes 100 TSX's into 3/4" though. Pretty is as pretty does.
