• 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

Nicely Done Custom

Sako Collectors Club Discussion Forum

Beautiful work...............but someone sort of wrecked it with the butt spacer.

Too bad.......
 
I don't think that the stock has been cut.

I bet you could get a gun smith to remove it and replace with the correct Sako butt plate.
 
Not my taste. It is beautifully executed, but I don't see why the Germans want to cover a perfectly good gun with oak leaves. If I'm doing a custom, I'll leave off the fancy engraving and stock carving and spend the money on better wood with fine-line checkering. No fleur-de-lis, no carving. And I agree about the butt spacer, but maybe the guy who commissioned the rifle was six foot seven.

A couple of months ago I was at a show in Phoenix where a guy had a whole bunch of German and Austrian custom rifles for sale. I passed on the ones with oak leaves carved in the stock and bought this, a classic German hunting rifle in 7x64 Brenneke. It shoots MOA with cheap S&B ammo. It has some low-key engraving on the front ring of the action, but that's all. The wood isn't spectacular; the gun seems to have been ordered on a tight budget (by custom gun standards). Built in 1961. It didn't cost four grand and I can take it off the wall and go hunting if I want to.
