Remington recoil lug on sako l691

[Mooseknuckles]

I am having a new barrel installed on my sako l691 action, just wondering if you can install a Remington style recoil lug on the action? The action sits in a h and s percision stock. I know I would have to have the stock inletted for the new recoil lug. Just wondering if it will work?

Call 308 Nate at SSG 1-701-794-3276 straight shot gunsmithing

I will have to give him a call.
I guess my other question is would it be worth while to add the Remington recoil lug. The action doesn't have the L shaped lug. It is one of the magnum research rifles. Looking to just keep the action rock solid in the stock.

I own a MRI Mtn eagle also I'd leave it as is mines a 270 wcf shoots great , really don't think it's needed congrats it's a very fine action thks jjmp.

That's been the hard part. Mine is 300 win mag. It shoots great just looking for a longer heavier contour on it.

 

[jjmp]

Ok np , have you found a smith ?

 

[Mooseknuckles]

Yeah I have a buddy of mine that is my gun smith. He has built me a couple of rifles.

 

[jjmp]

Ok great it's really your choice,are you gonna stay 300 wmag , good talking

 

[Mooseknuckles]

Yep I will stay with 300 win mag.

Yes you can use a Remington style recoil lug. You will/may have to adjust the recoil slot in the stock a little and turn a recoil lug boss on the barrel to center it, but your gunsmith should be able to do this if he can cut metric threads for the barrel tenon.

I personally feel it is a better system than the existing one.

I agree that it seems to be a lot better system. My smith can cut metric threads.

Thanks jjmp. My last rifle I had a Bartlein installed. Figured I would give shilens a try.
