• 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

    A7 bolt concerns

    Thanks for all the info, everyone. I ended up selling the A7 to a friend. Honestly, I was so amazed at the deep discount for the A7 that I bought it without thinking things through. Even if it had run as I'd hoped, the Roughtech Pro model wasn't a good fit for me. The barrel seemed long and...

    A7 bolt concerns

    Oh and this is something I've been trying to learn more about online. Do all plunger type ejectors compress the spring when the bolt is pushed forward in the same way as the A7?

    A7 bolt concerns

    I got the squeaking under control, and the bolt isn't too hard to close (it improved after getting the grit out of the bolt). But the rifle is definitely not what I expected from a Sako. I like the stock, and the fit and finish are great, but my $350 Howa is smoother. It's a bummer, because I...

    A7 bolt concerns

    Thanks! And I have same question as with the Tikka, but with the 75's and 85's. Do they have any similar problems?

    Are any of these issues present with the Tikka?

    A7 bolt concerns

    Thanks everyone for the help - this advice has been just what I was hoping to get from this forum! I took the bolt apart today. I feel dumb for not having done that before. Turns out there was some grit in there, and after wiping things down the bolt is handling much better. The squeaking is...

    A7 bolt concerns

    I went back to the gun shop today. I talked to them on the phone about it and they said to bring it by. They ran some snap caps through the rifle and they handled pretty well, although the bolt squeaked (that will go away with time, the guy said). The snap caps are definitely smaller than a 150...

    A7 bolt concerns

    It was new. I made the mistake of handling the display model quite a bit and the one I actually bought only a little bit. I’ve been wondering if I was crazy and the gun I first handled just wasn’t as easy to operate as I remember. I just got home from work and tried a different brand of ammo -...

    A7 bolt concerns

    Got my first Sako recently - a Roughtech Pro A7 in 30-06. The only other rifles I own are Howas, so that’s all I have to compare it to. I haven’t fired the rifle yet. Some issues have come up, but I’m not sure how significant they are. The bolt is squeaking when I lift and lower the handle...

    New member, new A7

    I went to a local sporting goods store this weekend to look at Tikkas, and imagine my surprise when I saw an A7 in the caliber I was looking for (30-06) for less than the price of the stainless steel Tikkas in the store. It was the Roughtech Pro. I went home and spent that evening doing research...
