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!

Got my L46 222 yesterday. Have not had a chance to even hold it other than inspection at FFL. The seller did not exaggerate-99% condition. When I have the time and get scope mounted I will make some pictures. I am sure to have more questions. Thanks. Barry
Ice bear-sounds like you had a wonderful day at the range. The guy I got my Leupold scope from has a Winchester 43 in 22Hornet he is trying to sell me. I forget the name of the scope(European) and a box of ammo for $750 plus shipping. My gun budget is rather low at this point. If anyone is...
I have decided to go with the Leupold rings mounted directly to the Sako style dovetails. I got a good deal on an old Leupold Vari-X III 6.5x20x40 gloss. I should have the rifle by Monday or Tuesday of next week. I'm sure I will have many more questions-thanks for all the info I already have...
I too remember when MADE IN JAPAN was laughed at. Just like the MADE IN CHINA is now. I think after Japan was able to recover from WWII they started out with some not so good products. They quickly improved upon that. Barry
icebear-let me see what I can come up with-I may be interested in the Redfield base. I am looking for a GLOSS scope also. One I have looked at is a Leupold 12X like yours. How do you like it? I will be using it on prairie dogs. Sometimes the mirage gets so bad anything over 15X is wasted. Thanks...
Thanks, icebear. that is the base I am getting with my rifle. if it gets to be too much of a problem I will likely just get some leupold rings. I guess what I was hoping for was the dovetail being something somewhat standard so I could attach to the Stith base. Thanks you for taking the time to...
It is a L46. It is coming with a Stith base. I was wondering if anyone knew the dovetail size on the Stith mount. I will likely take the Stith off and mount directly. thanks. Barry
My first ever Sako is on its way. It is a Sako Vixen HB 222 Remington. Not sure of the vintage. It comes with a Stith base but no rings. Does anyone know the dove tail size? Thanks. Barry
