Best place to find one Simon would be phone around the custom builders they are always ripping apart 75`s just for the actions, at the Midland gamefare Chris Blackburn of UK Gunworks had quite a few 75 stocks all around the £70-£85 mark I did not notice a laminate but then again I was not looking, its worth giving him a call even if he has not got one he may have a better chance of sourcing one than you or I.Gentlemen, has anyone replaced their Sako 75 Finnlight stock with a laminate one?
I do not really like my stock and prefer the Sako brown laminate stocks, where would be the best place to source one? What sort of price are we looking at?
Thanks in advance, Simon

Hi
I enquired about this and gmk will charge the princely sum of 650 for a laminte. I am selling my 75 and buying an 85 as it works out cheaper. The other problem with the brown laminated stock is this is the heavier varmint barrel.
Good luck

A good friend of mine has done exactly what you are planing to do Simon I will try to get him to send me a few piccies so you can make your own mind up mate.Why I am surprised that GMK want to rip people off to that extent Just dozy I suppose I have been looking on the web at laminate stocks from an English firm but have yet to see one I like as much as the brown Sako one.
I have wondered, probably wrongly knowing me, if the fluted barrel on the Varmint is the same as on the Finnlight? I know the action would fit, but would the slight difference in barrel thickness make it look unsightly, if the Finnlight barrel was slightly smaller?
Simon
Just beware of the weight, weighed a sako 75 laminated stock today, 1300 grams.
I guess the plastic stock from the Finnlight will not be more than 900 grams.

The stock on my Sako 75 in my gallery is a laminated one from Richards Microfit Stocks in California. This was cheap to buy, but dear to pillar bed and finish.

JCS, thank you for the link!

There is KRR stocks from Norway, who make sako specific stocks but there look outlandish, so they may not be your cup of tea
Sorry meant KKC! check out | KKC | . Does anyone have one of them?
