[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 1080237, member: 40654"] Pacific tool & gauge is making bottom metals for the 995's... if your smith is up to it you can make a sako 85 inlet work for a 995 by layering bedding to match the 995. Fairly involved job, but it can be done. Two here at our place have been built on sako 85-inletted stocks.. we used MPI silhouette thumbhole stocks specifically. They're excellent. Shaved approx. 1.5lbs off the overall weight as well, much nicer to carry! Regarding different magazines, a 5-shot TRG-42 mag will work with a bit of tuning... (they) latch on the back side of the magazine, 995 latches on the front.. what I did was measure/mark the spot of the latch (onto the -42 mag) then drill a centered-hole in that spot just big enuf to get a (small) triangle file inside, much like a guy uses to sharpen fish-hooks* Then used that to file the corners and form that drill-hole into a square to match the size for that latch.. I should mention, a TRG-42 mag costs a pretty penny.. but IF you absolutely must have a new mag or "want" 5-shot capability, it's about the only option there is. [/QUOTE]
