• 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

Can anyone tell me what model Sako this is?

Sako Collectors Club Discussion Forum

It looks like either a Model 75 or Model 85. I'm not sure how the action lengths in these model were designated but based on the bolt length and chambering it would be the longest action length they came in.

If you compare the photo of the bolt head with other photos on-line you may work it out. Alternatively someone here familiar with these models might be able to tell you in a snap.

Model 75, and being a 375 it will be largest receiver. The V, I believe they called it. Not to be confused with the AV.

No receiver ?

Thank you. I was thinking it was a 75. And correct. I got it without the receiver from a company that parts them out before destroying them. Any clue where I could get one?

You would be much better off, monetarily, to sell off the individual parts to those you need them & putting that money towards the purchase of a complete rifle. Finding a bare receiver will be next to impossible. Even if by some miracle you did, it's cost plus the cost to fit the barrel & headspace the bolt would be more than you could ever recoup. You bought PARTS!!! Not a rifle. Trying to make it a rifle would not be a wise choice & very difficult. That's why the company you bought them from had them for sale! Just my two cents.
