Since then, SAKO leaders have made several business moves, including the acquisition of Tikka Firearms in 1983 and a merger with the Beretta Holding Group (SAKO’s present-day parent company) in 2000. Bell and Carlson is a leader in synthetic stock design, technology and manufacturer of the highest quality fiberglass, aramid and graphite gun stocks. The company continued manufacturing submachine gun cartridges for the Finnish Defense Forces through World War II. The forend of this stock is very narrow and will take up to a 4 Douglas barrel contour with a short barrel cylinder. I know the factory stock on the 85 is lighter than the factory 75 stock. It also has a small amount of cast off and cant, which makes for easier target acquisition. I put a Mcmillian stock on my Sako 75 with edge fill it was 10 oz lighter than the factory stock. It has a Monte Carlo cheekpiece, as well as a palm swell. In between wars, the company gained financial independence from the Finnish Civil Guard, relocated its headquarters to Riihimäki, assumed the name SAKO, and began exporting pistol cartridges to Sweden. DESCRIPTION The Sako Hunter is a copy of the factory original hunter design stock. Their first shop was a converted Helsinki brewery, where gunsmiths refurbished captured Russian weapons for use in the Finnish Army. When replacing firearm stocks on your prized Sako rifle, choose Sako for proven and reliable quality.

The company’s name hails from a voluntary Finnish militia, called the “Civil Guard” or “White Guard”, that successfully crushed socialist opposition during the Finnish Civil War of 1918. SAKO, Ltd., or Suojeluskuntain Ase- ja Konepaja Oy ('Civil Guard Gun and Machining Works”), is a Finnish firearms company that can trace its roots all the way back to post-WWI Europe.
