pavman Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 All being well my variation of my FAC will be ready in 4 weeks to .17 and .223 fo rabbit and fox so I can upgrade from the FAC Rapid MkII which has been fantastic fun for bunnies but limits the range a tad. I have looked at a few traditional stocks but really fancy a synthetic for the .17 to cope with the mud etc, only one I can find is the Sako has anyone got one if so how do you get on with it sorry if we have done this on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see a 17 in synthetic in the catalogue, but give Viking Arms a ring, they will give you all the details, and your nearest stockist. 01423 780810 or have a squint on their web site; www.vikingarms.com I'm a bit biased as I have 5 Rugers! Best of luck with your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalway Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I've a Quad in 22lr, same as HMR, only gripe I have is that it's a little on the short side but spacers are available to lengthen it I reccomend the Quad though, lovely accurate rifle.

Hogey Hogey how do you get on with the scope, was it recomended or did you move to the simms by choice? I have the white tail classic which ranges up to X20 and wonder if that will work on the Sako ok Edited March 2, 2008 by pavman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
