sako stock "?"

[MHUNT]

I have recently aquired a Sako stainless synthetic in 338. The butt has a hollow sound to it and I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for what I could use to fill it to dampen this rather unnatural sound. I was thinking of some sort of spray in foam insulation. Thanks.

Any kind of close-celled foam will work to help a bit, if the butt is actually hollow.....have a .416 rem Sako with factory synthetic stock from 1995 and it doesn't sound hollow like my ramline stocks do......

hs4570..............yer mileage may vary

 

[Why not?]

Find a good carpenter and ask him to let you use a bit of his HILTI brand structural foam.

I have used it and it works great!

As an aside, the structural foam works great to hold a mercury recoil reducer in place without unwanted movement or noise.

My Sako m75 SS rifles dont sound hollow. Must be a aftermarket stock.

No it's not an after market stock. It's the sako stock with the rubber grip, and it sure sounds hollow to me. I've had 2 older Sakos with synthetic stocks that did not sound hollow.
Thanks for all of your input. I'll have a go at it with the structural foam.
