Sako A7 stocks and triggers

[Vanderdootch]

Hey!

I have a Sako A7 chambered in .270 Win which I purchased about 10 years ago. It has the “soft touch” stock on it and the finish has starting to come off the stock. Also, the stock provides very little by way of rigidity and I am hoping to give it a face lift in that area. I see Boyds sells a lot of options for the A7, but it appears though that is my only option. Bell and Carlson also makes one, but they are unobtanium in Canada. Looking for any opinions or insight into stock options!

Also, I would love the option to put a set trigger in the rifle. I know sake makes rifles with set triggers, but is it an interchangeable part between models? I have yet to be able to find one anywhere on the interweb. I am certainly pleased with my factory Sako trigger, but am curious to know if a set trigger is an option that’s available.

Thanks to anyone who may have any input on these matters!

Prohpet river firearms carry the bell & carlson ones from time to time. I'll probably contact them to see if they can just bring one in for me. Sdame boat my stock went bad if you find any where to get a stock let me know.

I ended up sanding all the soft tech off and repainting.

I make sure I tell every Stoeger/sako dealer I'll never buy another Sako product until they give me a new one Lol. They would replace if I was in US, but not here.

Have you ever attempted to proxy bed the composite sock? I have been considering it but im unsure if the juice is worth the squeeze.

I guess I lucked out, my old A7 just came with a hard synthetic stock that is holding up nicely.

Mine is doing okay as well. Other than the soft touch wearing out. And I certainly can’t complain about the accuracy of the rifle. Bedding might just be a lot of of work for no returns.

I didn't try. Mostly because like you, Rifle shoots amazing as is so I didn't try. It's my back up rifle anyways. .308rem

Mine is a 300wsm and it it shoot good enough, roughtly 1 moa, to not bother with further tinkering. It's not a target shooting rifle, and most of my shots are less than 100 yards, and none are over 200 yards, so it fits my needs perfectly.
