As things often go, I was actually looking around at some fiberglass stock options for one of my Savage 111's, and accidentally clicked "Sako" in a drop-down menu... Never gave Sako a lot of thought, but I liked what I saw, and long story short, I ended up drooling over the Sako Grizzly. Now, I'm still not not wanting a walnut stock for my particular application, but it got me interested in the brand and I am now looking at the Black Bear.
Since I was looking to get out of the Savage polymer stock, looking at another rifle with a polymer stock seems... silly. Does anyone have direct experience with their synthetic? I've seen a couple of videos and it seems durable, but I want to know if the rifle still balances, and if it's anywhere near as flimsy as the Savage stock? If the rifle balances well and I can't feel it flexing in-hand, I'm fine with it.. Those were the two goals I wanted to accomplish by moving to a fiberglass stock.
Look forward to your input, and pictures are encouraged.
