I found this thread and then I figured out where all my money goes.......
Sako 75 with a mcmillian sako varmint stock with a sendero contour 1-9 Ron Smith gain twist chambered in 7mag - night force 8-32
Sako 75 with a mcmillian sako 75 stock with a Ron Smith heavy sporter 1-8.5 gain twist 6.5-06
With a 5-25 Swarovski
Sako 75 with another mcmillian 75 stock in plain Jane 270 win with a Gaillard barrel
With a 3-10 Swarovski
And one I left alone so far. A sako 75 in 300wsm
With a 3.5-18 Swarovski
The 300 WSM took this guy at 461 yards. The newer finlight might be in my future for further sheep hunts. The 75's are great but maybe a touch heavy at 10.5 lbs ready to go for do it yourself sheep hunts
Beauty whitey Marty!!

Looks like mine only mine's a 300 WM. Beautiful buck by the way!
I'm in.
First is a Sako 75 SS in 7mm STW. Just sold this one.
Next Sako 85 Hunter in 260 Remington. Love the wood on this one, it not only looks good, it is an amazing shooter.
Newest one to me. Sako 75 Deluxe in 300 WSM. Can't wait to shoot this one. Just got it, new in the box.
Sako AI vixen heavy barrel in 222 Remington.
Sako AV in 280 Remington.
Sako AV in 25-06. This was my first Sako. Just sold this one too.
Sako m995 TRG-s in 7mm STW. This one is heading away to be customized. Won't look like this much longer.
Doesn't matter which one I pick up to take out, they are all fantastic rifles.

That's a beautiful rifle and one heck of a good group!
Thanks. Every Sako I have had is super accurate. This 260 has been awesome since the day I bought it, and almost anything I load for it shoots great. That particular load I only use for paper. I have a great load with 130gr Bergers for deer, and another with 95gr vmax's for coyotes.
It's a long story, here's a condensed version. I was going to customize the Sako 75 in STW that I just sold. So, I purchased the m995 to be my "stock" STW. When I received the m995, I quickly realized that it had been tampered with, the barrel has been setback, but the chamber was not reamed properly. Head spacing is way out. So I decided to make it my donor for a custom. I have a Krieger SS barrel in #6 contour for it. A JP Enterprises muzzle brake.

I have a Whiskey 3 Chassis from Kinetic Research ordered for it.

I'm planning for a nightforce to top it, but haven't decided yet.
I was going to keep the 75 in STW as well, but then I found the Deluxe in 300 WSM which will work very nice for a moose hunting caliber. So I decided to sell the Stainless 75 to a fellow gunnutter. The 7mm STW has become one of my favourite calibers to play with.
What Caliber is your m995?
Mine is a .270 Winchester. I bought it brand new 13 years ago. I keep searching the web for more information on them, I want to eventually switch to a wooden stock.
Good luck finding a wood stock. I think you would have to find someone to custom make it for you. They are great rifles, just there is very few options for aftermarket stuff. I think mainly due to the recoil lug design, or lack of recoil lug design. Mine has what appears to be a factory muzzle brake. I have been told that they never came with a brake, but I have also been told that a limited number of the magnum models did have a factory brake.
I would like to find one like yours with the smaller bolt face, to build a custom 260 off the action.
Iv been looking for options to make my own stock, or buy one thats not inletted.I don't mind waiting the time. I'm just tired of the factory stock and no one around here will offer any more than $500 for it. They always say " well I can get an axis for under 500 new"
