• 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

    Block Letter "N" on L579 Barrel

    Re-visiting an old thread with a couple of photos: Bofors marked .243 Sporter showing the block "N" underneath the inspector's initials: Bofors marked .243 HB without the block "N" but with the same inspectors initials: Does the block "N" remain one of the Sako mysteries? northernlights

    Custom sakos

    Congrats on the rifles! Now repeat after me: "My name is Blip, and I'm addicted to..." The big "push' is what you want to feel with a .375 H&H.

    Stoeger Information needed on Sako 338 win mag

    Whoa...incoming, incoming...! Mag-na-porting is one of those topics where "circling the wagons" in skepticism always seems to surface. I very rarely would do this with you, Stone...I know when it is not a good idea to bet the farm, so to speak...but I will put my nearly 25 years shooting and...

    Stoeger Information needed on Sako 338 win mag

    Just my opinion... I highly recommend Mag-na-porting rifle barrels in shoulder bruising calibers such as .338 Win Mag with very fast, hard hitting recoil (also significant muzzle lift) as opposed perhaps to the 375 H&H Mag which has a slower, more of a hard "push"felt recoil. Of course, felt...

    Gen. Earle Gilmore Wheeler's Sako Deluxe in .308

    Beautiful rifle, DG! I think for many of us here our "best" rifles have the best stories to tell. Like with so many other valuable "things" we take pride in owning, their stories are their greatest value to us. I have mint Bofors Sakos and pre-64 Winchesters, but one of my "best" rifles is...

    The Price of Guns

    Did you notice there is zero figure in the stock of that 9422 that sold for $8225? Clearly that 9422 stock represents the best of Winchester's best walnut with grain as straight as ironed hair! Here's a matched pair of 9422s in .22lr and .22mag that got rescued before the grain got "ironed...

    Totally clueless

    This GB seller has had outlandishly high prices on Sako rifles for years! I often have wondered how he stays in business, but obviously he has. I'm guessing he uses GB as a vehicle for free advertising and then accepts lower offers and sells outside of the GB format.

    Hello Everybody

    Try L.L. Cote in Errol, NH for your LH Bavarian .270. They have several LH Bavarians listed online and recently sold a LH .270. (800) 287-7700 I don't believe the Bavarian ever was chambered in .243. In case you don't need a Bavarian here's a Sako 85 LH in .270...

    Trade rifle ammo for 9mm ammo

    Right now we have ammo shortages and crazy high prices. So let's do some horse trading! I'm offering to trade premium rimfire and centerfire ammo for quality 124 gr 9mm ammo. My first choice for 9mm would be 124 gr. Federal SYNTECH Match (or SYNTECH Range). Other quality 9mm 124 gr. FMJ...
