[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 3030024, member: 40654"] I apologize for the slow response guys.. from 2017 (lol) I don't get on here often anymore I do not have inlet pictures though no, lots of pics with kills since but the rifle is in-tact & I'm not splitting it just to take pictures. Sorry there too. But my brother & I still shoot them religiously after all these years... they're still going strong. When I did have it apart years ago though, it looked exactly the same as the factory 995 inlet, just made up with bedding & pillars. The guys trick to stiffening the for-ends on those stocks was to open them up and bed an arrow shaft & somewhere or other aluminum. That-part done for rigidity. (But) that's covered & buried and you wouldn't see it even if I did have the action pulled out for a picture. Anyway. Here's a bull moose from this past fall.. @525yards with mine. My stock is the wider fore-ended -85 MPI, and my brothers was done on their narrower fore-ended -85 version. Both stocks were opened up the same time side x side and rebuilt layering bedding bit by bit shaping and forming to a custom inlet that fit the 995 footprint though. That's a fact. I still have the MPI sticker someplace that came off my own stock from bran-new that is stamped Sako-85. So same as I said before, all those years ago, it's absolutely doable if your smith is handy & is willing. And they will stand up to horses knockin them around in scabbards, backpack hunts, falls, or beatings just as well as the best of them can. But it's an undertaking. Guy hears the Cold dead hands comment too often, but to echo it one more time, my 995 will definitely have to be pried from my cold dead hands after I'm long dead to ever go anyplace but with me.. it still holds its own with the best of today's new rifles. And we all know there's some dandy stuff being manufactured these days. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6001.jpeg"]542281[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
