I came across a stoeger import .300 weatherby av deluxe several years ago that was in 99% plus condition and it came home with me. My questions are what is it worth and does sako freebore the weatherby chambered rifles? I have shot it with federal ammo with no problems, but I'm curious as to whether or not to try weatherby ammo since i've read that it is loaded somewhat hotter due to weatherby rifles having the long freebore.Thanks.

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

Any factory chambered gun will have SAAMI compliant chamber dimensions, including freebore. Since the SAAMI specs for the .300 WBY include freebore, that is what the Sako will have.
An as-new Deluxe Sako will typically sell starting at $1,000, depending on how the appearance of the wood strikes the fancy of the buyer. But this can depend on caliber and location. Sometimes a .300 WBY will be slow to sell simply because few deer and coyote hunters in an area like mine are interested in that much power; on the other hand, if someone is looking for an elk rifle it might bring a premium.
