    I've seen some years ago that you couldn't tell after they were done.
    No sir, on a ding deep enough that can't be raised or sanded, I use an epoxy to fill the hole and then sand smooth with the contour of the stock.

    That looks like first class work, what's a ball park figure for replaceing the recoil pad on a sako bolt action rifle ? The original one is starting to crumble from age . ( early 70s vintage )

    Thanks man, generally $120 plus the cost of pad. There's factors that can make it more or less; some stocks have been butchered underneath.

    Flt,my son replaced the one on my Sako 223.Perfect but he said he did not want to do another.He had to go on the internet and find someone would had an original pad.Found one at some gunsmith up north.Dang pad cost almost as much as Jafar quoted you to install it.

    Let me expound upon this; this is the cost to grind and fit a recoil pad of any fit to any gun. A replacement OEM pad that is a direct fit has nothing to do with the examples above.

    Thanks guys , but I have several new old stock sako recoil pads I've had them for years. I'm sure some one on you the Internet will say otherwise but if you store a long gun barrel down the pad will last a lot longer.

    J , those old pads had to be fitted , all the stocks weren't the same back then . The wood blank that some of those old sako stocks were made from would cost several hundred today , if you could even find wood that pretty.

    This very true Jafar,this pad was not fitted for this rifle and had to be ground to fit.As a one time owner of various Sako's from the late 60's and mid 70's all of them were different sizes on the butts.Better plan on fitting even if it is a Sako pad.Still have a couple.
