RE: Need stock for Sako M995
I agree with Solitary, in fact McMillan built the stocks for the M995 the last couple of years they built them so I assume they built the one on your gun as well. Last weekend our Beretta rep was in town and I was talking with him about why Sako dropped the M995/TRG-S as we know it? He said that they weren't ever really told a concrete reason WHY but that he knew for sure that Beretta revamped ALOT of guns within a year or two of buying a gunmaker/importer (as they did of Sako/Stoeger a few years ago).
In fact he went on to tell me that I better hope I don't have any problems with my M995 (TRG-S Lazzeroni Warbird) because mine was a Stoeger/Sako version and was built with more and different outsourced parts than Beretta liked and used once they owned the company. I know this rep well and consider him a friend and I am sure he wouldn't knowingly tell me a lie. But I suspect he was lied too by whoever told him that in the first place. I can't believe that Sako built a less quality rifle prior too Beretta owning them. He even told me that all of the old parts and backstock of Sako was left in Finland (or wherever else the outsourcing was located) and that Beretta started with a clean slate. Now I have sold many and have buddies with a few Beretta edition Sako M995/TRG-S' and I can't tell one iotas difference betweenANY of themother than the barrel stampings and the nickel finish in the last couple of years before they axed the entire line. They area damn fine rifle, period.
McMillan is PRICEY but you damn sure get what you pay for! I haven't had one minutes problem with mine and the Warbird is known to be hell on stocks.
