Synthetic Stock for Sako L61R Finnbear

Gents,

I'm on the prowl for a "TBR Approved" synth-stock for the Finnbear in .300WM, since the steep Monte Carlo sure knows how to slap!!

Aside from the McMillan HTG, any other come to mind??

Saludos!

My most recent rifle has the McMillan Hunter Edge stock and it is awesome:

Gents, 2019 now!!

Still keen on getting a synthetic on this rig, came across this McMillan "Tactical Hunter", slight twitches from the HTG (rounder forearm and checkering). I believe it would tame the .300 a bit better and provide ample gripping surface for both hands. Too bad HS doesn't make anything old-Sako.

What say ye of the design??

From McM: "The Tactical Hunter is a hybrid of hunting and tactical stock designs. It is a modified version of our famous M40A1 HTG stock. The Tactical Hunter has a slightly wider, deeper and more rounded forearm. The forearm has a more pronounced slant on the bottom for height adjustments when used with bags or shooting sticks. This gunstock is a straight ambidextrous style that may be inletted and used both right and left-handed. It is available with or without an integral adjustable cheekpiece."

How's the drop at the rear going to affect your shooting? Perhaps it might accentuate the felt recoil?

If you are serious about the McMillan, you can get the standard HTG/M40 with or without the texture on the grip and forend. I have no idea whether or not they will inlet either for your Sako, but an email will give you a quick answer,

The paint that McM use gives plenty of grip without the texture (for me)

I have a standard HTG and the forend is quite rounded, yet flat in the centre and not tactical square and angular at all. I haven't properly fitted it to my rifle yet, so can't comment on recoil, but I am pleasantly surprised at how versatile and comfortable it feels in various positions.

I forgot to add, that there are, IIRC, three Kiwi manufacturers of carbon fibre stocks. Depending on where you are, they could be worth contacting.
