Quad question

[painboater]

I've been slowly collecting the Sako rimfires over the years, 46, 54, 78, 94. Still missing a sporter 72 but figured I'd look at the newer end of the models and had a question on the Quad. Was there ever a wood stocked sporter version of these? I've seen a P04R sporter but I think that's the later one with the non-interchangable barrel and I've only seen a wood stocked Quad in the varmint or range (laminate) models.

I have little knowledge of the quad so can't help there.

I do own both P72's and M78's and can't find any difference in them. There were about three different triggers used on the 72/78, but I haven't seen enough evidence to say if the triggers were unique to one or the other of them. I'd say that other than having a rifle with "P72" stamped on it that by having an M78 your collection is complete in that area. But I certainly won't tell your significant other if you need the Model number as an excuse to buy another rifle.

Well if you ever bang into early P72 with glossy stock it is hard to resist!

Was there ever a wood stocked sporter version of these?

Yes. It's called the Hunter Pro. The same stock as you have seen on the fixed barrel version.

Thank you
