no worries Report post Posted October 26, 2017 Ok. All of these great looking custom rifles are giving me the itch to build something. I traded into a Sako 75 and it's been sitting in the safe for a year. It's a 308 cal with super low (less than 50) round count. Stainless with a swirly stock. I've got a new VX5 3-15HD firedot duplex that I was going to mount. Just never decided on a mounting system. I'm one of those weird left handed shooters that prefer a right handed bolt. The rifle came another weirdo and is a RH action/ LH stock. So, that's what I have to start with. Should I use this as a platform? Should I start from scratch ? Change caliber ? Just coat the metal ? I'm not a big fan of the dovetails that limit ring choices. Just looking for some input. Thx Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tac Report post Posted October 27, 2017 If it is like my Sako you better see how it shoots before you change it. Took a couple different bullets but found a real tight shooter in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allforelk Report post Posted October 27, 2017 Strong action and a great round in a platform that has a reputation for accuracy. I think I heard someone mention that you should SHOOT IT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
