[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 336261, member: 505"] Sako went to this as a cost saving measure about 15 years ago. I don't like it because I don't feel I could build anything with enough surface area to sufficiently do the job. I got some Sako TRG 338 Lapuas and 30-378's to shoot pretty good by building my own lug within the stock to fit in the groove in the reciever. I still have two of those Lapuas and they have been shot many times and are still fairly accurate for a light rifle. I did the same thing with my Tikka T-3's. One of mine in 300 wsm shoots very well for a light rifle. What I did was fairly labor intensive for the support structure to hold back the Lapua. I'm sure each smith has got his own technique like JE's which I am sure will work well. I agree with you that I would do something to support the recoil on the front end groove and not the tang.
