Hi Guys

I am in a difficult situation because the Sako V75 Varmint (22-250) that I bought used got damaged in shipping - a big crack. :( I'll be filing an insurance claim on this. Does anyone know where I could buy an original factory replacement stock since this rifle is no longer in production? I'm after the walnut stock, not the synthetic one. If I manage to find one, is it a fairly involved gunsmithing job to fit it? Should it be done professionally or is this something that a semi-skilled hobbyist could do?

On a slightly off-topic note, has anyone here ever had to deal with a shipping damage claim on a Canada Post shipment? :bangHead: Where you satisfied with the settlement? I'm in new territory here.

Thanks for any advice and insight you post.
 
I'll let you know about Canada Post and insurance as i have a claim being reviewed right now. Shipped a 788 with the mistake of having a fragile sticker on the box. The person that was receiving the rifle said the box looked like it had been driven over. The scope survived, the trigger and guard however did not. Right now it is a mantle piece until i can find him a replacement trigger.

Check with some of the bigger shops like Ellwood or something like that for a factory take off.
 
Sako Stock

Have your local dealer call Stoeger Canada (Sako Importer) or call them yourself at 1-800-263-1945. They have the stock you need.:)

Good luck with Canada Post:bangHead::mad: :( :eek:
 
Yep call Stoeger, but expect it to be pricey. I asked about a laminated stock for my 75 and they quoted me something like $750. It should be as simple as taking 2 bolts out, and swapping the metal....drop in very little or no fitting required.
 
It's true that the stock only goes on with two screws through the trigger guard / mag well frame but where the action touches the stock, there is a very thin shiny surface as if they put a small amount of resin in place to make a better contact between the wood and metal. It's far less than what would be used for a bedding job. The barrel is designed to be free floating and the recoil lug is a thin bar beneath the breech that appears not to be bedded into the channel in the stock. I would do a dry fit check first and see if the action seats without material removal.
