GRS Hunter Light Laminate Stock, Sako 85 XS

• Lightweight laminate build: At 1050.00 g, this stock keeps overall rifle weight down for alpine hunting and long days on foot, where every gram matters.
• Adjustable cheek piece: The push-button cheek adjustment helps align the eye naturally behind the scope, improving comfort and making consistent shot placement easier from field positions.
• Compact hunting fit: The 325.00 mm length of pull and slimmer grip suit smaller-framed shooters and fast-handling mountain rifles, while still allowing spacer-based adjustment.
• Glass-bedded platform: The glass bedding design supports a stable action fit, which helps the rifle maintain repeatable accuracy and dependable zero.
• Field-oriented geometry: A 46.00 mm forend, standard barrel channel and right-hand configuration give the stock a practical shape for stalking rifles with lighter barrel profiles.

About the GRS Hunter Lights Series

GRS Hunter Lights is GRS’s lightweight laminate rifle-stock family for hunters who want the familiar feel of a wooden stock without carrying unnecessary bulk. The series sits in the brand’s hunting-focused range as a lighter alternative to the Sporter pattern, with GRS describing it as 25% lighter than the Sporter model. That makes it especially relevant for new hunters, younger shooters and alpine users who spend long hours walking with the rifle rather than shooting from a fixed position.

The series combines the practical advantages of a laminate stock with GRS’s ergonomic approach. A 5% smaller grip and a shorter length of pull make the platform easier to handle for smaller-framed shooters and for compact hunting rifles. At the same time, the design keeps hallmark GRS features such as push-button cheekpiece adjustment and GRS SpeedLock adjustment, so the stock can be tuned to the shooter instead of forcing a compromise in head position. Hunter Light models are built around lighter barrel contours and weight-conscious hunting setups, making them well suited to stalking and mountain use where portability matters as much as stability.

About the GRS Hunter Light Laminate Stock, Sako 85 XS

The GRS Hunter Light Laminate Stock, Sako 85 XS is built for a compact bolt-action hunting rifle where low carry weight and fast handling are more important than a heavy target-style stock. Its 1050.00 g laminate construction keeps the rifle lively in the hands and easier to carry over steep ground, while the 715.00 mm overall length helps preserve a compact profile that suits stalking and alpine hunting. For a Sako 85 XS setup, that makes the stock a strong match for hunters who want a rifle that moves quickly between carry, ready and shooting positions.

The stock’s ergonomics are aimed at practical field shooting rather than bench use. A 325.00 mm length of pull and slimmer grip geometry help the rifle mount naturally for smaller-framed shooters or when wearing lighter hunting clothing, and the cheek piece adjustment lets the comb height be set for a more repeatable sight picture with a mounted scope. That matters in real use because a stable cheek weld reduces head movement and helps maintain consistent eye alignment from improvised positions.

The glass bedding arrangement supports a secure action fit, which is important for preserving accuracy and zero retention when the rifle is carried extensively in rough terrain. A standard 0,67 in (17 mm) diameter barrel channel is intended for lighter hunting barrel profiles, and the stock is rated up to .375 HH, giving it the strength for serious hunting calibers while still prioritizing portability.

About GRS

GRS began in 2010 in Grodås, Hornindal, Norway, growing out of a family business that started in 1983 as Grodås Møbler AS. The company focuses on rifle stocks for hunting and shooting, with a range that includes laminate, composite and aluminum chassis designs. This specialization shows in the way GRS combines stock ergonomics with practical adjustability rather than treating fit as an afterthought.

Within the shooting market, GRS is known for product families such as Hunter Light, Sporter, Bifrost, Fenris, Warg and Ragnarok, covering traditional hunting rifles through to more competition-oriented platforms. The brand also developed the GRS SpeedLock adjustment system and began producing laminate rifle stocks in 2011. With its headquarters still in Hornindal, GRS remains closely associated with Scandinavian rifle-stock design that emphasizes fit, control and field usability.
