• 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

My Sako "AII" .308. Bought it from a professional Kangaroo Shooter. It was a .22/250 with an almost smooth bore and badly damaged stock. It had spent most of the past 20 years riding around in the cabin of a Landcruiser tabletop. The underside of the stock was very badly faded from the sun (as it round upside down in a rear window rack).
Added a McMillan stock and Tobler barrel along with a trigger job and a refinish and have not looked back since.
I have an AII in 22/250 that I bought new in 1983 and this is only around 300 different in serial number.

Very nice looking. Nothing like bringing a rifle back from the dead. Just got my Brown Precision stock from paint, now just waiting for the action to come back from Teflon.
 
Not so many Kangaroos these days (the AII in 22/250 does that nicely) but it has accounted for many pigs and a number of deer...:bigsmile3:
 
Nice rig there Andy.

I am pondering a mcmillan stock myself. Can I ask who you sourced it from and lead time....I am in Victoria and use my 22-2250 sako on foxes...
 
Hey mate, sorry I didn't see this earlier...work and all that. I mail ordered it direct from McMillian in Arizona. There was a 13 week lead time on it when I did (about 5years ago).

That looks like one of the many my old man built is it a fiberglass stock? I have two here that he did and I love the feel of the lightweight fiberglass stock. Very nice, now lets see some Roo shootin pics!!!!
