    If you want a lightweight stock talk to Edi (Ejg) he makes very lightweight stocks and could probably help you out with your 75.

    Not sure about the Sako.
    But he makes stocks for them Tikka Masala's;)

    Quality stocks from PSE Composites.
    I have used one almost 12 months now with No complaints in all weathers from -22Deg C- +23Deg C and wet snow and dry!

    The thing about the sako varmint is that most of the weight is in the barrel and action.
    You should take off the original stock and weigh it first then you will be able to compare the weight with any other stocks you fancy to see how much weight you can save by changing.
    Some of the tactical stocks may be heavier than the original.
    My mate cracked his sako varmint stock and replaced it with a mcMillan sako varmint one. It looks good and he says its a bit lighter but it was expensive.
    I think it was about 450 sterling then he had to pay to get it bedded.
