• 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

Item number 888914679. Ever seen a bofors era 300 win mag. with a serial this low? Under 3000 could even be a 26" barrel?
 
The ad says 24" inch so the ad placer and the site is aware that a 26" would bring the price up. Sakojim.
 
I'm certainly not an expert here; however, I have two 1969 .300 Win Mags. Both have Bofors stamps. Both serial number are 38xxx. Much higher. I have been questioned a few times about authenticity because Sako was supposed to stop using the Bofos Stamp in 68' and 69' was the first year the .300 Win Mag. was manufactured in mass. Maybe its a special order, custom or rebarreling. It looks older and I can't see the entire stamp in the ad.
 
Appears to have been updated as an H&H. If he wasn't familiar with the caliber, can his barrel measurements be trusted? Happy bidding........ in 10 days
