• 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

Australian SAKO Collectors - Hands Up

Sako Collectors Club Discussion Forum

I think you will find there are quite a few of us on the forum. I am in Brisbane and to date I have 4 Sakos and a Tikka T3. Number 1 was the Tikka T3 Stainless Hunter in 308 Win, number 2 was the Sako 85 Hunter in 30-06, Number 3 was the Sako 85 Varmint in 223 Rem, number 4 was a second hand Sako M78 in 22 Hornet in great condition (except for a extraction and feed problem but excellent accuracy), number 5 is a Sako 85 Bavarian in 338 Fed. All are extremely accurate and a dream to own and shoot.
Just as a side note I am in dispute with Beretta Australia at the moment as the Bavarian arrived damaged due to being used as a display in a gun show, so I have returned it pending repair or replacement, fingers crossed it is repaired as it has beautiful Walnut in the stock. Ian

G'day Aaron.....u get my PM on AHN? If you are free for a shot Tues 10th through Fri 13th i'd be keen to drive down. Only 40 rnds of loaded .222 stuff left though, unless you have a press down there that i could knock up another 70?????

G'day iblack75.

Had my eye on a Tikka 590 SS/Synth in .243 over on ozgunsales but left the pondering too long and he's taken a deposit....was umming and arrring over the $1100 tag but realised it was probably all the gun I needed....by then it was too late.

Still on the lookout for another Tikka like the one mentioned above or a SAKO AII or M591....243 in a sporter and 22-250 in a varmint.
 
Hi, I am from country South Australia. I collect old firearms. The only Sako I have is L46 in 7 X 33. Very low serial number.

Regards,

Laurie
 
G'day Laurie, nice one to own and fairly scarce here. How about a couple of pics to whet

our appetites ?

Hey Laurie i was just surfing usedguns.au and there was somebody in Au selling some 7x33 brass and a L46 magazine for 7x33

Thought I would give you a heads up
 
Hey Ditchdogger:
If Laurie doesn't want the 7x33 mag & brass, a member named Foxy just put a post up wanting them.
If they are available, would you be so kind as to let her know who to contact?
 
hello fellow aussies.

I just stumbled apon this sight on the search for sako parts on the net. Looks like a great resource of information, i have already learnt alot browsing & searching posts.
 
sakol461,
Welcome to the forum. We often get some good multi-country discussions going. Also, there has been an increase in members from "down under", which is good to see.
Enjoy our forum and set us straight if we stray off the point!
Regards,
S-A

I've got a Tikka M558 in the for sale section of this forum. It's 22-250 sporter with extras. Take a look. I have no idea how to get it to Australia, but if possible I would try. It's listed as Tikka M558 with extra goodies. G'day!
