1967spud Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 A big thanks to a few people here. Especially Col48 for helping me get things rolling and ordering the stock, Dasherman for the Action and barrel work and putting up with my constant phone calls. Also thanks to nem, varminter, 6mmbr and moses for advice and help along the way. The specs turned out like this: Sako 75 IV Action Trued and fettled up. Chambered in 6.5-284 and throated for a Hornady 140grain A-Max bullet. Pac-nor 1:8.5 F-class Barrel left at 30 inches. Bolt handle fitted and fluted. Action and barrel vapour blast finished. Trigger fettled with. Screw cut for a moddy, complete with thread protecter. And finally a Jet-z Moddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
