• 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! Jim

    A Few Sako Pics

    bsmith, A friend bought the 22-250 Forester HB from the collection that three of the guns came from. Its not my gun, but it is of the same vintage (I could get the serial from him to cross) as the 2 222 Mags (1970) and one 222 (1970). The 22-250 is a great cartridge. I have the pleasure of for...

    308 Win Sako information

    Metsastysluodikko - I know that "Metsa" in Finn is grain, or wood. And "luodikko" means rifle. Sorry I'm not good enough to put the whole word together. I think that is an older dialect, but maybe just means wood bolt rifle or something like that. I tried. I don't think the word itself...

    Info about my sako 7#33

    Yes, Riihimaki is the town where rifles were made. Not sure now. Maybe through Garcia's at least Also, some shotguns were produced in a city called JyvxE4skylxE4 (factory now long closed), where my Grandfather was born and raised.

    Help with forum appearance please.

    It's got to be in the settings somewhere. Mine is set at 1440 x 900 32 bit color. did you try the little "minimize" icon at the top right in the middle by the X? Can you click, hold, and "drag" it from the bottom right corner of the screen diagonally? Wish I could help more. Main...

    Sako Mauser

    Hi Jim, thanks for your input. The condition is fairly good, I have never seen one, so not really sure what to look for but the bluing on the receiver is very good, the barrel is also nice with a couple scratches. The floorplate is not hinged but removable and has some slight possible pitting...

    Sako Mauser

    I recently looked at a Sako mauser in 270 tang safety, it was in pretty good condition, some stock dings and a couple scratches in the bluing, otherwise good, still had the sight hood. The gentleman said the rifle was manufactured in 1955, and his father purchased it in Germany in 1959 from the...

    Did Sako ever manufacture a Finnbear in 270 WBY, 7mm WBY, or 300 WBY calibers?

    Hey guys, just wanted to chime in here. I would tend to agree with Sstonecreek in that if we're only looking at barrel stampings then stonecreek's L461 would not be a vixen either. Looking at the box in this post, I would think that Sako called this rifle a Finnbear, it is the most prominent...

    Did Sako ever manufacture a Finnbear in 270 WBY, 7mm WBY, or 300 WBY calibers?

    Trigger Pull

    Thanks for your reply Kelly. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the subject. The reason I checked the pull is I was having trouble with the L579 with accuracy,and the A2 not so much. They all break clean. Looking at the manuals, Sako factory set the L579 at 2kg which is 4.4lbs and says...
