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

I contacted Winchester Australia who tells me they are no longer producing .22mag projectiles as a reloading supply - so maybe not a good idea to get too attached to the last remaining ones in the system. Thanks for your kind offer Marcus. The current projectiles I am using are the “SX” (Super...
I have been using 6.5gr TrailBoss powder behind my standard full velocity 50gr Hornady SP varmint projectile in my L461 Vixen .222 to roughly duplicate .22 Rimfire Magnum ballistics. This is where the hunting is close & I need to minimize noise. I need to buy more projectiles, & am wondering...
What a saga this has been to solve! I used the lipstick trick & it was not obvious what more wood needed to be filed away. It eventually became apparent that the trigger was prevented from coming forward far enough during re-cocking (was being squeezed to one size with increasing action screw...
Hi, I have an L461 with a newly fitted Timney trigger that had had the bottom of the trigger blade filed to give clearance from the guard, & filed away stock woof from the front & safety catch side. On fitting the bolt to the rifle, I can close & fire it once, though on future attempts...
I have had my one & only Sako since 1997 - it's a L461 Vixen .222 from the era of 1977 according to the serial number. Even though it doesn't get a lot of use, I love it & can't ever imagine selling it. I've used it mainly on targets, though am planning a small game hunt on foxes & rabbits...
