[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 336994, member: 7449"] I've skimmed over this thread so if this ends up plagiarizing someone else or being redundant I apologize. There's two photos that caught my attention. One is the one showing the tang of the rifle and the other illustrates the tang inlet on the stock. There's only one rifle that I know of that shoots worth a **** with two recoil lugs. A double lug national match M-14. I had one of these during a two year stint on a post and station rifle team while in the Marine Corps. Your Sako appears to me to have the same thing in function and it's been my experience that bolt guns should only have one. If that inlet feature touches the action on the bottom (the "V" shaped part) then I'd have to speculate this is not a good thing. If I were tinkering with this gun I'd relieve it to ensure they didn't contact. Especially if this is a "sewer pipe" plastic stock. A guy might pull it off with a synthetic or a laminate, but I'd guess a big no on plastic. JMO. Now I'm going to sound like a hypocrite a little so get your torches ready. I just built an 1.470" diameter Nesika for myself. It's a single shot in 308 with a barrel that started out as an NHRA Pro Stock dragster axle. (K, not really, but it's a big ol betty at 30" long and 1.25" OD for the whole length.) I was "lazy" and didn't tape off the tang of the gun when I bedded it. It's a 1:1 fit and it's TIGHT going in. My 300-338 Lapua Magnum is done this way also. both are house O fire shooters but they are single shots and the actions are rather robust so that may very well be why I'm getting away with it. If I were building this gun from a box of parts I'd whittle off the little boss on the bottom, fit a "real" lug between the barrel and the receiver and restock the gun accordingly. Not the cheapest route for sure but I'm pretty sure it'd be just fine. Regardless, good luck. Chad [/QUOTE]
