fibreglass sako

[Guest]

Apparently there has been a sako model called the fibreglass. I have seen -in an old magazine- a .375 H&H; fibreglass in Australia. I was wondering how comman this model is and if there are these models in smaller calibres like .270, .308 and 30-06'? I am also wondering why sako discontinued this model and why its not available in the 75 series? I would much rather a fibreglass stock to the grey, synthetic, rubbery stocks they have.

My dream rifle would be a Sako 75 action, magazine and barrel on a fibreglass, kevlar reinforced stock, Sako rings and mounts and a Leupold 2-7x33 scope.

Any comments, pictures or thoughts are verymuch welcome.

Hi Doug,
Do you mean the Sako Fiberclass? At least here in Norway it was available in all long action
calibers, from 25-06 to 375 H&H; mag. I have also seen one in .458 Win. Mag which I
was offered to buy at a fair price. For some STUPID reason I did not.. I think I still have a brochure or two which includes that rifle

The stock maker McMillan still makes fiberglass stocks for the AV and AII actions. I have had both made and you can select the color. I had mine made in grey which looks great against the dark bluing. I beleive the go for around $330. The turnaround time is long, usually at least 3 months. Actually, Cabela's also sells them but only in black.

The stock for my .270 in the AV action turned out perfect. I then bedded the action im Marine Tex and the gun shoots better than ever. The stock for my AII was not mad to my specifications and had to be sent back. If you want your fiberglass in the exact dimensions of the wood, it is best to send them the original wood and just tell them to copy it. They will also install aluminum pillars & bed if you want.
