[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 336226, member: 4191"] Mark, It sounds like your Sako rifle uses the same recoil lug system that the Tikka T3s come with. I own two T3s and they both shoot pretty darn good as is, however I have investigated options for improving the stability of my T3s with an improved bedding system. I haven't done anything yet - they're both still bedded as received from the factory. Here's a link to a LRH Forum thread exploring some options for bedding a Tikka T3, which also has the recoil lug in the stock rather than being fastened to the barrelled action: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/cant-bed-tikka-t3-27731/[/url] There used to be a nice photo of a glass bedded T3 in a laminated stock in that thread but it looks like that photo has since been removed. I know a laminated stock or some other non-tupperware stock material would be easier to work with than my factory T3 plastic stocks. But the laminates add weight, and I use my T3s for sheep & goat hunting where I don't want a heavy rifle. [/QUOTE]
