JC275 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Anyone know how much work would be involved in making a Sako 85 fit in a McMillan stock designed for a 75? the action length is correct. Thanks, JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dasherman Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I've done a 85 into a 75 Mcmillan and would definatly quote a larger number for the job in the future. The bottom metal, hole pitch and recoil lug are different. You need a front pillar with a slot in it for the tiny recoil lug on the 85 and a whole lot of fine tuning to get the action into the right position.

I saw a stock for sale on the stalking directory and wondered if it could be used without an enormous ammount of work. Cheers, JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
