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
Sorry, I haven't been on this site in a long time. I just answered your private message hohlweglaurer. I'll share some of the info for the others interested in this cartridge. I have never been lucky enough to find factory Sako brass, other than the 4 boxes of Sako ammo I found a few years...
I would love to hear if anyone knows anymore information on this rifle. How many were built, how many may have come to Canada, etc. I can't find any info on it, at least that I can read in english anyways.
Thank you for the info. I've never heard of this before.
Here is another link to some more photos. Hopefully it works, I use the same link on other sites and it works.

Any guess on how many of this special edition were made? I can't seem to be able...
I just purchased a Sako 85 Stainless Synthetic in a 9.3x62.
I was looking for a Blackbear or Grizzly, but my dealer seen this one listed and it caught my attention.
The description said, MT Package, Gun Bag, Sling and Silver Plate.
The MT apparently stands for Muzzle Threaded, and there is a...
I was lucky enough a few years ago to pick up a 9.3x53 Sako the same as the one above (item #7). Just stumbled onto this thread today, this picture posted here is the first one I have ever seen that is the same as mine, with the rear drum sight. Mine is date stamped 1943 though, the...
Dragging an old thread back to life,
I bought this rifle a few years ago, and after a long search was able to locate 4 boxes of Sako ammo for it. (Sako # 102D) I have continued searching for more ammo and have yet to locate anymore. Who knows, maybe I found the only 4 boxes in Canada. I have...
The barrel according to the seller (consignment seller, not the owner) is 24"
The seller says the owner said the scope was $1800 alone. Canadian.
Thanks for the info so far, I hope to see more photos today. The owner is open for offers, so I may make an offer.
I'm waiting for more photos, he just emailed me the serial number, 604xxx which predates anything I have found on Sako's website.
The scope is a Swarovski.
Any idea of value? If its of value, I want to jump on it before it sells.
Seller also says it says "Sako" on it but says it is a M65...
What is this rifle, Looking for some advice.
Hello everyone,
I have found a rifle for sale, the seller says it is an old sako in 7mm Ren Mag.
He doesn't know much about it, he sent me a few photos. It has a rosewood front on the forearm and on the base of the pistol grip.
Which would lead me...
Thanks Terenceh,
The seller says it is a factory Tikka stock. I have only seen one other rifle in photos like this with google searches.
Here is the site with the picks. This one has an Ithaca recoil pad one it??? I'm not sure if the one I bought does, as I haven't received it yet.
w...
I have recently purchased a Tikka M55. I'm still waiting for it to be delivered.
I was looking for a rifle action to build a custom 6BR or similar off of and this rifle came available so I purchased it.
It is a Tikka M55 action and stock with a Kreiger stainless barrel, chambered in 6XC.
I...
I have finally purchased a rifle I have wanted for many years. A Sako L461 (A1) 6mm PPC in a sporter, repeater. I have an A1 heavy barrel single shot with the adjustable trigger already, but have always wanted a repeater to match the one my father has. (the only other one I have physically...
I'm sure I'm going to by it. I can't seem to get enough of these Sako's, and I guess its about time I had a Deluxe. The 300 WSM is one that I have wanted to add to the collection anyways.
Is there any way to see how many 75 Deluxe WSM's were built?
