1. 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 am B and I am looking to sell a SAKO Riihimaki .222. I would like to get an estimate of the age and value of this rifle. Serial number 565884.


    Thanks!

    There is no such thing as a Riihimaki Model. From the fuzzy out of focus pic, about all I can make out is it appears to be an AII Deluxe. It's not possible to "value" your rifle over the internet, sight unseen.

    Could be a rare AII , chambered in .222 rem. The Rubber pad and shady Sakolope scream big value!
    Oh! Looky! The seller just joined today!

    ok…B…what are you thinking? We can tell you if you’re too high. If you’re too low…we probably won’t tell you that.

    Ain’t that floor plate a tad long for a .222?

    Based on those pictures and description you want a valuation? Try looking on line for recent sales. Looking to sell? Try your local FFL or pawn shop. Welcome new member.

    B, we really need more pictures that are sharp so we can help with more info than what has already been given, The Sako butt pad and Sakolope engraving indicate it's a deluxe . The image posted is real fuzzy but looks like it's an AII medium action, Look on the top of the barrel just in front of the receiver for the caliber marking. The 222 Remington caliber as far as I know was not built on the AII action. More pic's of the whole rifle please. Welcome to the forum.
