sako75 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi LH, Gary Cane does make some very nice stocks, I had one built by him some time ago, I think he does build the stocks for Steve Bowers so you might have quite a wait should you go for one of his. I found Gary very helpful and more than reasonable with regard to price etc, but that was a good few years ago now. I have a Sako P94S HB fitted with a McMillan Sako Varmint stock, which suits the rifle well, not something you’d want to carry for long though.

ATB Bob I also have seen Bowers stock made by Staffordshire Synthetic Stocks so perhaps he has 02 suppliers Thanks for the confirmation Since I mounted a dedicated night vision on the 17 HMR I need an esclator to get to my scope height with absolutely NO cheek contact at all I cannot win either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako75 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi I tried an NV set up years ago, but seeing as 99% of my shooting is done in built up areas, there is far too much ambient light for the NV to be effective; I had flare outs most of the time. Plus had the same problems as you are having with lack of correct contact to the stock etc. I have an Anschutz 1717 with a McMillan featherweight stock, and fitted with a S&B 3-12 x 50 scope and hardly ever need to use any additional light source, but then I am not shooting in fields or woods etc. Do you have the synthetic stocked quad, or the wooden stocked version; as if it’s the wood stock you could get an adjustable cheek piece made for it. Good luck with you’re search for something suitable, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varminter.223 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Steve Bowers used to use Gary Cane for his stocks but the last time I spoke with Steve he was using a "chippy" on the same industrial estate Steve is on . He has all the necessaries along with a copying machine to duplicate factory stocks etc. By all accounts his work is excellent. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete I agree He built me a pair of PD rifle and they both perform better than what I can shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyR Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I recently saw a Sako Quad with a standard wooden stock where the cheek piece had been modified to an adjustable one, really nicely done. No idea who did it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
