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
Are you looking for an L46 in Hornet?

Missing original sling swivels. The trigger guard & magazine look much more highly polished than the rest of the gun, with not a bit of bluing wear. Can't say one way or the other without a hands on. Very nice rifle, regardless.

Even as Sako collectors, I think we may forget how scarce some of these guns really are. I didn't see the ad for the Hornet, but I know it would take more than $3200.00 to get mine. Here is a picture of one of the hardest to get, Sako quadruplets, starting at the top is a 7X33 with the real early up swing safety, a 218 Bee, 22 Hornet and a 222. Although the 222 is not rare, this one is an early model with nice Walnut and not the pale Birch wood you see in many of the early guns. It is also older than the Hornet and completes the set with 4 attractive and several real rare guns.
Another hard part of collecting these Sakos, is finding the scopes and bases that fit the era of these guns. The B&L Balvar scopes are a nice compliment with the Kuharsky bases as well. The sight base on the 7X33 doesn't allow the same scope/base group, I just haven't had time to grind that sight base off yet...
