Mine has been bought and sold about 3 times now. Somebody here still has it. Found it on FB randomly once.
Sako QUAD - CUSTOM Trainer @ EuroOptic - YOU SPEC!

I still have 2 quads, one in 22lr and 1 in 17hmr, both in T4 stocks with KMW cheek hardware added by Joe Ducos (stock doc), KRG 2 stage triggers, lilja barrels, as well as dip bottom metal, A419 rails, and sterk AI style bolt handles. The 22lr is used for targets and the 17hmr is primarily for small critters out to 175y or so.
Both shoot great and are nice actions to run, but I do occasionally think of building new rimfires on R700 style actions to have more options for stocks and triggers.
Not convinced it's worth all the money to do so though, as I don't shoot .22 NRL matches where a different stock and a long heavy profile barrel would be nice, and it's the quality of ammo, not the rifle, that is the limitation on the 17hmr. Both quads do the job just fine for me.
This thread reminds me that I should purchase a few more spare parts for the quads; maybe a spare magazine well assembly, firing pins and springs, extractors, etc, as getting parts can be difficult (thanks Beretta USA for your awesome customer service, lol)
I keep eyeballing the RimX as well as the 457, but haven't decided to spend the money... Yet.

I had my factory varmint barrel threaded by LRI. It likes almost every ammo I’ve put through it.
If you find a source for mag well assembly, please let me know. Mine blew up and sadly, I’ve been without my favorite 22.
Unfortunately I'm still looking. Brownells used to have them, but with their website update a year or two ago it seems all the gun schematics and factory replacement parts disappeared off their website and the old stocking part numbers went dead. Beretta USA and MGW don't have them either.
I was always surprised that nobody made a machined aluminum mag well and latch assembly years ago when the quads were super popular. At this point it would be an expensive endeavor with limited return as the market for the quad is nowhere near what it was as the CZs took over the "pretty nice reasonably priced rimfire" segment.

I’d be willing to pay a decent amount for either a 3d printed or aluminum machined piece. I just don’t have a whole one for someone to go off anymore
