[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 389191, member: 9253"] I own several Sako rifles. Even within the same model the stocks aren't all the same since they can have different barrel channels and magazines. (sort of like the Rem 700). Get it in your hands first then look for a stock for it if necessary. Many Sako's have wooden stocks, and many are quite nice. Sometimes a beat up stock is best for hunting. Your' not afraid to beat it up a little more rather than leave it home to protect it. If it has a good barrel I'd shoot the 25-06 until it wears out. (2000 shots?) It's not bad for deer and smaller game. . My favorite 30-06 size cartridge is the 280 AI (Ackley Improved 280 Rem It's a very good deer cartridge and good for elk with only a small reduction in useful range compared to a 7mm Mag. I expect it would be less expensive to sell it and buy a Sako magnum than to try to convert it to a magnum bolt and magazine, though that would depend on what model action you have.
