Hey All!
Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board.
They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things.
The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to.
DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES!
They often state something like this:
”Hello!
Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]”
If you receive any strange messages:
Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not.
Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out!
Beware of anything that might seem fishy!
And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username.
You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our!
All the best! And be safe!

Hi gspsmoke4, thanks for the formlua. I may have got the twist wrong, as I was doing it at home with a patch and rod. From what I can see on the sako web site 1 -10 is the norm.
Some have said a heavy grain bullet at a modrate pressure works best.... But it differs from gun to gun.
Cheers

Hi all,
Question, what would be the best bullet weight for a L61R .270 with a 1 in 14 twist rate.
I am using factory ammo now, so I know I will be limmited to just a few weights. But it would be good to know for when I start reloading.
Cheers for the info guys, I most certantly will keep a close eye on the sleeve. It's amazing that I can put up my old finnbear against my mates new a7 and can still win with a .70 group of three at 100m from what we are using as hunting rifles, not bench rest guns !!
Hi all,
I just have a quick question, I have bought a 51xxx serial number finnbear .270. And i have a question about the pillar bedding. I have taken the action from the stock, to give the gun a good clean since it was very dirty. And i noticed that the rear pillar had a steel dowel in place...
Ok so last weekend i went to the range and sited in my finnbear, it shot about 1.5 inch at 100m and 4 inch with Remington core lokt 130grain... Im not sure but i think it could have been better, after i found out that 2 of the site rings were slightly loose.
So this weekend i am going to try...
Thank you all for the welcome, sakonut cheers for the info about what your likes to shoot. I am going to the range tomrow for the first time. To see what mine likes.
My old man had a a finnbear in Africa a 3006, so he's the one I blame for my addiction.
Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself, I have just bought my first sako, a finnbear .270 win and I am looking forward to leaning more about it in the coming months.
