Q --> Stockmaker - Strength in wrist

I would appreciate your comments regarding strengt of this stock.

Well, the grainflow isnÂ´t exactly ideal thru the grip....... If the stock have been cut 10-15 cm further back in the blank the result would have been much better! If that would been possible.

Could the rifle by any chanse be a Sako 75 jubilee model?

Ehhhh, it was actually that model I had in mind

In my opinion that rifle is overpriced close to a crimninal degree!

There is several gunsmiths here in Sweden that could build a rifle just as nice for a lot less money!

How about the "CRF" on this Sako? Any coments?

thats one of the best mass produced commerical stocks i've seen. What caliber is it?

yes, it would have been better 3-4 inchs back, yet odds are that the blank wasn't long enough or some story.

I would be proud of that one

I think Sako chambered them for .375 H&H and .416 Rigby.

I think there was 80 rifles made.

In this article 375H&H, 416RemMag and 458WinMag are listed but on Sako's own site, 375H&H is the only caliber mention.
