So currently I'm looking at a Norinco M305 long as my first aquisition upon getting my PAL. I've got a few ideas towards the one I'm looking at, mainly developing it into a long range weapon.

I was curious about getting a Norinco 305 shorty, and whether or not the Sage EBR stock is available in Canada and whether or not it's restricted. I have seen pictures of the Mk 14 EBR a number of times and love the look of the system. This would be an additional gun to the 305 long that I'm currently considering.

long range weapon. ? don ' t think is a good platform for that... 600 yard, maybe not more...

if you can find sage ebr buy it,, look good, strong , amazing stock, nothing like that..

be carefull with other stock... for the same price, go with sage... JAE Too expensive..

Try Bashaw sports, del selins and there's few other places.
The sage EBR chassis (stock) are availlable, I just think the dealers are keepin it on the down low cuz the demand far outweighs the supply.
The Sage ebr provides an excellent platform for building up a long range rig.

Doc, how would you rate the Troy MCS in comparison to the Sage?
 
It'a hard call as I really like both chassis.
I like the troy for it's look and feel and versatilty of mounting optics. I don't like the newer versions forward attachments and much preferred the original troy mcs.
For the sage... Built in buttstock assembly gets big points. The weight and balance of the sage make it a very sturdy platform for building up a very accurate rifle.

Newer aluminum stocks coming to market are taking the aluminum chassis backwards in my opinion. Making them light as possible increases felt recoil and reduces the dampening effect on muzzle rise that a sufficiently weighted stock provides.

Sage is tried and true quality and it's designers had rugged durability and combat in mind.
It would be my choice overall if I was going the aluminum chassis route.
For true long range seekers, skip the tacticool and save your pennies for a JAE as this metal/composite chassis IS designed for that purpose.
 
Thanks for the info! I guess the other hurdle is availability...Bashaw was waiting for 2 years to get their next shipment in from Sage, and they've already pre-sold their entire order apparently

As I understand it, the sage EBR stocks are covered under ITAR due to the adjustable stock. Bashaw sports and Del Selins are the only Canadian retailers I have heard of that can get them in (I am not sure how they get around ITAR); however, due to military contracts being filled by Sage International all commercial orders are on hold, so you could be waiting a while for a new one. Your best bet is to get on the EE and get a used one, that's what I did and I'm quite happy with it.
 
Nugun Sales (?) I believe was the outfit that secured import certs for a specific quantity of the sage ebr. I'm not privvy with all the details but I was involved in discussions with Nugun when I was approached to be a Sage retailer.
It's my understanding that these stocks were not market ready when they landed and that an outfit in BC performed some final machining and assembly to create the finished product. They did a bang up 1st class job ;) (plug for ya Stanley ;) )
Anyhow, the last info that came directly to my ear was some time last year so current status is unknown.

I agree, the EE is your best bet. Either for just the chassis or for a built rig.
 
I suspected that with the military demands for the Sage EBR it would be a while until I saw them in stock. My 305 long will most likely get a different setup, but if I go for the shorty afterwards I'll definitely have a lot of options. Thanks to everyone who put in some input.
 
I had one of the first Sage EBR Chop Mod stocks that came into Canada back in 2005..........I loved it.....;) I used it for Shooting Service Rifle Competitions and my only complaint was the over all weight.......especially after doing the 500 to 100 meter rundowns in full kit.........LOL.......

It is very well made and well thought out. I really liked the collapsing stock and adjustable cheekrest.............if I was in the market for a M14 Chassis, the Sage would be one of the top picks............The new Blackfeather M14 stock looks very interesting and from I have seen so far it would be up there as well..........

and the Sage does look pretty damn ###y!!!!!!!

best bang for the buck

Give Jerry at Mystic Precision a call or email, knows these guns very well. Read the threads in this forum, could save you a bunch. This is a good gun out to 600 but beyond that you'd be better off to buy a bolt gun. For a non restricted .308 semi auto that will hit( or drive through) pretty much anything within reasonable range for reasonable cost and lots of fun, hugely upgradeable, some retro thrown in wow.It's a blast
Almost done building one and have pals with several, they work very well for the money.
I dunno , do i sound like a fan or what
Have fun
