• 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 just joined the club today and have already spent entirely too much time reading threaded messages and responding to old discussions - (better late than never?). Anyway, I'm looking forward to conversing with this group. I hope I have something to contribute, but from what I've already been reading, I'll mostly be soaking up knowledge.

I live in the South, have a wonderful family and am employed as an industrial engineer, I've competed in most shooting diciplines - but not always very well. I enjoy Sako, FN Mauser and early Model 70 and Model 52 rifles. Don't consider myself a "purist type" collector, but since I've run out of practical reasons to buy any more rifles, I'm now a collector (Worked on my wife...sort of.). On the down side, I'm also a Remington fan, but only because of my benchrest experiences and I'm having an affair with a Cooper in .17 Mach IV - but please don't hold that against me, the temptations were just too great for a weak man.

I've already learned a lot from this group's Sako experts and, again, I hope I'll have something to contribute. For now, thanks to those who maintain this club. You've already answered questions I've had for years.

Thanks again...AIPPC
