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

    This rather pedestrian Remington 700 HB in common-as-dirt .222 is selling for upwards of $1,500. Its stock with the rolled-on and mashed-in "checkering" appears to be clean, as does the metal. But why is such a Plymouth commanding a Lincoln price? What am I missing?

    The older Remington's have really climbed in price this last year. Probably because of what the future of Remington is. The older nice varmint rifles that I have seen sell lately have been between $1600 to $2500. Very short time ago their was a NIB, Green Box, Varmint 700, 220 Swift sold for over $6000.00. Also seen on the same auction two model 600's NIB, in 350 Magnum, and 6.5 Magnum brought $2500 each.
    It's sort of a shame that the better made older Sako rifles bring far less than these Remington's. For a hard to find Sako in 22 Hornet it might bring $3500. Compare that to the Remington 220 Swift. That's just because the Sako following is way smaller.
