• 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

Hello From Texas

Hello Sako group. I'm from the South Texas area and just aquired a SAKO from an acquaintance. Never heard of this brand of rifle which is a Sako Finnbear L61R deluxe in Cal. 25-06. Could anyone learn me a little bit in what I've aquired...lol. I've been reading about the pre Garcia's but not sure if mine is one of those. The stamp under my barrel reads Garcia sporting Arms Washington DC. I've also read about the lower the serial number would make it a pre Garcia. Mine is a 5 digit serial. I'll up load some quick pictures of the rifle I took last night. Appreciate any information on the rifle and a possible value estimate. Also, the guy I got it from is going thru a rough time financially and didn't want to ask him a bunch of questions about the rifle. I could tell he didn't want to get rid of it. Thanks in advance.
