Maybe they are - I thought they were bedded the same as the L-series. I'll check one of mine.I thought AV rifles were factory floated. Shows what I know. I'd put my money on a loose screw or 2 in the scope mounting apparatus

I just checked my AV in 7x64 Brenneke and the barrel floats clean down to the last half-inch at the tip of the stock, where there is contact and light upward pressure. The rifle shoots consistently to 1-1.5 MOA with factory ammo. Many gun designers and builders prefer this system because it damps out vibration. My personal view is that floating a lightweight barrel is a crapshoot - sometimes it works great, sometimes the vibrations are not consistent and accuracy suffers. The heavier the barrel, the smaller the amplitude of its vibration and the likelier it is to work well if it's floated. I don't know if Sako switched to fully floated barrels later in the AV production run or not.I thought AV rifles were factory floated. Shows what I know.

Well then, I haven't got a clue what that cutout is about. It doesn't make any sense to me and I don't recall ever seeing anything like it on any of the dozens of rifles I've taken apart. Maybe if I had it in hand I could think of something, but that isn't going to happen, so I'm stumped.Hi Icebear,
The carved out section that you see is at tip end of the stock as described about 2-1/2" from the end. It is not any way connected to the swivel post for the sling. I have opened the barrel channel on the new after market stock & will take it to the range when & if the rain and excessive heat relent. Want to get it zeroed in with a new load I want to try. The new stock is heavy and I believe it helps steady the rifle when shooting. At my age I need all the help I can get! The new stock is a Richards 95% inletted and if you believe 95% I will sell you the bridge to SC on lay-away. Albiet the stock is nicely figured, but I think it was made on a Friday or Monday during the Christmas holidays. The inletting was quite poor.
see feather crotch !!
There are many names for that beautiful Squiggly wood that we Sako Folks and Fanatics find so fabulous! Some will say Feather Crotch,or maybe feel Fiddleback more fitting..For others, possibly fundamentalists, feel Flame and Figure is fine ,and fitting for firearm furniture!
In final..whether you’re a Farmer, a fireman or Philanthropist, it’s still fabulous to find such figured features!
