Custom or not to custom sako quad

[niffkin 1]

Hello All

 

I am toying with the idea of customising my 17hmr sako quad by having a synthetic stock fitted and synthetically bedded and a new trigger mechanism, Apparently all of this will improve the acuracy and feel of the rifle.

 

So my question to you is : is this worth having done or would you have something different done like having a different barrel fitted ?

imo i wouldnt bother mate i dont think bedding the stock will make your rimfire any more accurate. just adjust the trigger and spend the rest on ammo and a upgrade of scope.

 

the reason i dont think your get any more accuracy out of it. is dont forget rimfires are factory ammo. so no matter how much you do to the gun your rifle accuracy is dictated by the ammo.

 

unlike a centrefire where you can make your own to improve accuracy

I would take Jamies advice, save the moey and put it towards your centrefire rifles.

if you want to do it then do it mate. but i dont think your gain alot. and if you sell the rifle your never get the cash back

rimfire, make sure the barrel is free floating.... upgrade the trigger, mounts and scope... and bobs you mothers brother..................lol

 

spend the rest on a centrefire of your choice, and upgrading it......

 

 

Snap.
