Sako 90 Quest - the stock?

[JCMCUBIC]

Interesting rifle, but the stock on the Quest gives me pause. I've not handled one, but it appears the vertical grip is designed in a way that would make it difficult, perhaps impossible, to grip with the thumb in line with the action/barrel. Appears it was designed to require a thumb wrap around the grip.

Has anyone handled a 90 Quest that could confirm or comment on this? Not debating the cost, this rather than that, etc...but it is an open forum, discuss as you wish. I would appreciate insight from anyone who's handled the S90 Quest stock.

It’s a slight redesign of the carbon wolf stock which is a really good field hunting stock. The stock does favor most shooters “wrap” grip style. There is a larger than ideal “hump” for my personal grip style which is thumb in line with the bore. The stock still works great but if you don’t use a wrap grip you’ll be fighting it a bit until you get used to it.

Thanks for that info. Greatly appreciated.
