Thread: Sako 85 Finnlight II

Ok thanks.

This is one thing I had to do to get a good cheek weld without an adjustable stock. Look on the right of the photo and you can see the rimu wooden cheekpiece which is shaped inside with epoxy putty and stuck on by F2 glue. It does add a bit of weight. Not sure if a riser one is better or not. Don't vines and branches and cutty grass get caught in the gaps between cheekpiece and stock ?

Does your rifle sling double as a scarf or something...?

Well, that's gonna kick a bit more than my 7mm08.

In all the excitement, I couldn't remember whether I had fired 5 shots or 6. I thought of this idea of taking the tail off each goat I found so I could keep count. There were several of us skeltering around collecting legs and backsteaks so it was ripe for chaos and missing a couple.

I thought the govt had started some new culling initiative, similar to the deer culling days of old. Where you'd live in the bush for months at a time and collect tails so you could fund your next 24 pack and a couple of cigars.

You had my hopes up. :/

Great idea though.
