• 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

I have decided that I want to buy a Sako as my next hunting rifle. Here are the deals I have found, both are 7mm Mag:
Sako L61R Finnbear w/ Leupold vari III scope $875-Both rifle and scope are early 80s vintage and have had approx 400 rnds shot.

Sako 75 Hunter w/ Leupold Vari-X II $875- Rifle has had less than 100 rnds shot.
Both rifles are in great condition. I value a smooth action and accuracy. Which would be a better choice? I have felt a Sako 75 but not a Finnbear. Is the age of the Finnbear something to consider or is that not an issue? Thanks for any help.
 
How about comparing the Mauser action with the L61R (for .270 or 30-06)?
