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

Jimbo,
Welcome to the forum, love your part of the Pacific Northwest.
Customs built on Sako actions usually make very fine shooters and hunting rifles. Typically, because the action is of high quality, the rest of the build hopefully will be too. It’s always helpful to know the origins of custom rifle, but sometimes that information is not known, as a rifle is passed from person to person.
If you have any build knowledge please share it along with good quality photos including any stamping or engraving. Also, take a couple of photos showing the entire rifle on both sides.
Someone probably spent a good sum putting it together, but as a custom it’s value won’t rise to a collector rifle in original condition, unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Most likely none of this matter to you, if you were attracted to it - then purchased it. If it shoots good either off the bench or as a hunting rifle then maybe that’s all that matters.
