• 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

Great coverage of Sako Information

Fear of plagiarism & copyright restrictions prevent me from more quotes. This book was originally written by
Frank de Haas. This is the 4th edition and it is edited by Wayne Zwoll. It covers virtually all Bolt-Action rifles. I purchased it hoping that it had info on Sako. Boy Howdy does it! Let's start with this:
"Thanks to the information sent me by Mims Reed, who is a Sako student and collector, I can fill you in on this rare model Sako (L469). Mims Reed has also given me additional information about the Sako firm and a thumbnail listing of the various Sako bolt-action rifles they produced,along with production dates (see the end of this chapter). And for those of you who collect Sako guns, there is an organization for Sako collectors."

Zwoll, Wayne. Bolt Action Rifles. Gun Digest Media. Kindle Edition.

IMO this book is certainly worth owning, Printed & Kindle are both available.
 
Yes, I agree--good coverage of most of the Sako models. There are some omissions (the "91" series, for example), and my copy ("Expanded 4th Edition) has a publication date of 2003, which means that the Model 85s are completely missing. Still, good coverage up to and including the M75s.
