"in search of"

[Guest]

hey guys! just joined the club. i have owned several sakos in my life time and i had to sell the best one i had and i miss it. i am looking for a deluxe, in .25-06. the one i owned was made around 1981. my knowledge on sakos is elementary. i just bought a new 75 deluxe this past september and i dont like the action. i have not put a round through it yet, but damn, it dont feel like my old deluxe. if any one out there has one they want to sacrifice, let me know. i am looking in the 58-84 vintage. sincerely, skyridgeman oh, must be in excellent shape!!!!!!!

I am just curious, what caliber is your 75 Deluxe, and what don't you like about it? Are you set on finding a 25-06 Deluxe or are any other calibers of interest? A month ago at the local gunshow they had an AV action Deluxe in 25-06, immaculate, asking $950... and they also had an AV which was not a Deluxe just the regular Finnbear sporter NIB never touched with all paperwork, also in 25-06, asking $850. Local gunshow is on again this weekend, may just have to go have a look-see if the Sako's are still around...

There is only one thing you can do to be forgiven for your sin. You must find an L61R deluxe pre-Garcia. You can find one on GA, Auction Arms or Gun broker for around 1200 in 98% condition. Do not get hung up on finding a 25-06 just find a nice one. Don't ever sell a Sako unless you are replacing one with a better one. This is the Sako Creed..... lucky for me I only made the mistake once a long time ago. Good luck, and regards, Rick.

Hey Rick, I sure would like to hear about that "mistake" you made.

You aren't by chance in Idaho, are you? I see a lot of posts on various forums from a Rick in Idaho who also sells quite a few Sakos and Tikkas on the various auction sites. Was just curious.

By the way, I really appreciate all of your posts here recently, and the rifle you picked up is super! It does get a little slow around here at times, especially for those of us who have been bitten by the Sako bug and need information NOW!!

Hey, a big thanks to Deer Goose also - always helping out with the Sako questions!

I traded a garcia 7mag that I picked up in germany for a win101 12ga field
gun....never could hit shit with that gun. The Sako had beautiful dark
walnut with fiddelback front to rear....oh I wished I had that rifle now.

Sky,
You have to shoot that model 75 quite a bit for it to feel silky! Your Sako needs to be put to work!
I bought one in Oct.04 and it is just now starting to feel good, I am going to keep mine, I see action bedding in my future.
Do what I do, buy lots of ammo and keep it in plain sight, that way you have to go to the range to get the ammo off the shelves.
