[QUOTE="dragonxi4longrangehunting, post: 3041995, member: 97868"] tuning required with Sako85 LR stock ? I had to have a gunsmith tune my Sako .243 which has traditional wooden stock because its barrel was adjusted "too close the stock" i.e the barrel did not "freely vibrate above the stock" (sorry, don't know the right terms) i.e it was impossible to get it hit targets due to this faulty design one would expect the manufacture like Sako to set it right in their production line. Once tuned by the gunsmith the rifle has served me well even in winter conditions. Has Sako improved production standars for Sako85 ? Also .243 stock is durable and let me to install the bipod I wanted for which I disassembed the riffle, drilled holes to have the bipod and stuff I wanted to carry the rifle with special belts for winter hunting and with picatinny trail .243 did not have. The question is that whether Sako85 laminated stock is as durable to disassembly and drill ? Birch as stock material for Sako85 sounds good, it's the glue between laminated layers which makes me nervous - on the other hand laminated wood is used to build tanks for LNG shipis ...
