• 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

Sako New Acquisition - A Creedmoor Leap of Fate

Sako Collectors Club Discussion Forum

Today I upgraded my practice rifle to a Sako Carbon Wolf in 6.5 mm Creedmoor. I emptied the gun cabinet with the exception of my Sako TRG-22 match rifle (also a Creedmoor) to make this happen.

My thought process was that to master the wind (is that even possible) and reloading I need to practice at a minimum of 300 yards with the cartridge that I shoot in matches. My wife is temporarily content that I only have two rifles in total (scout's honor). I am itching to get to the range to begin break in and load development.

My first impression is that this rifle is very light coming in at 7.5 lbs. I picked up an ERA-TAC picatinny rail that is a perfect fit to the Sako receiver details. Then I can just flip flop my riflescope. This would make a great hunting rifle, but to date I have only shot long range.

I'll provide an update once I've settled out on the rifle's average three shot cold bore group. Life is good.

See you at the range.
