Sako-TRG-S stocks

[fishbear]

I've read some threads from other sites & there seems to be a common occurrence with these stocks cracking for no apparent reason (over abuse) . The TRG-S that I now own had its stock replaced for the same reason & unfortunately with the same model. I will not restock it until I have to but is there a good replacement stock for the M-995 (Lapua) action being that the recoil lug is in the stock not on the action & of course how much$$$ I looked up HS Per. but they do not list the 995 in their offering for sako's, would I need to find new bottom metal ??? Let me know what you all know thanks

McMillan. I had one. It was a great stock. Expensive.

Seen 2 of these TRG stocks broke right in half at the wrist, would love to find an action to buid a 300 H&H, cheers Dale Z

Yes mcmillan makes them and yes you need to buy bottom metal. I have a muzzle brake on mine, hopefully that will help tame the recoil enough to save the stock.

Thanks Kimberman as I am doing the same adding a brake I also found out that there was a recall for those actions due to a firing pin issue though there was only two accidents with this action do you know much about this???

I have a TRG-s in 30.06. Had it for years, it's my main hunter/ shooter. Nothing has happened to it yet...knock on wood. I've never heard of any recalls or cracking problems...please do tell.

McMillan and Serengeti also make them and you have to replace the bottom metal on both of them.
