Sako AV .375 H&H Login/Join

Well I picked up the Sako. I put it on the scale and it is about 7 1/4 lbs. bare. So it should be perfect "all up" under 9 lbs I would guess. Cleaned it up and it looks like it may never have been fired. Smiler

The original paperwork was with it in the orig box...says it's a "finnfiber" inspected 5-25-84. I'm pretty sure the stock is a mcmillan. Is that correct??

Any suggestions on what to do to it?? Besides shoot the bugger. Should I bed the action? Doesn't look like it needs anything else to me but I haven't owned any Sakos before.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Shoot about 2 boxes out of it and then get it bedded... gun smith will see where it is being ripped up...

I had a 338 Fiberclass that I rebarreled to .416 Rem. It was bedded but still split. I added an internal crossbolt. I'd crossbolt and bed, save yourself some grief.

I own the Sako 75 375 and I have done nothing to it and it shoots like a dream.

Stonecold, is your Fiberclass stock the classic style with no checkering or Hunter style with monte carlo comb and checkering?

Mcmillan made these stocks. The earlier one is the classic style, the latter is the Hunter style. Since yours was made in 84, I would bet that it has the classic. Both are great. Lou
