• 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 is inspired by the hysterical Old Hippie and I give him all the credit. I thought maybe this would be a fun thread.

For my part it seems if you have photos of your guns on your phone and you look at them more than you look at pictures of your girl (or guy) you might be a Sakoholic!

I posted the following a number of years ago when the subject of Sakoholism came up:

Yes, it is a disease, not a flaw in your character, and it is called "Sakoholism".

It often starts as innocent social shooting event such as a once-a-year deer camp. One guy shows off his Winchester, you show your Ruger, then this other guy brings out a Sako and invites you to "just hold it". Then, the next day after you "just held it a little while", he invites you to use it to shoot a deer. That's it. You thought you could "just give it a try", but you've already become addicted. The same thing can happen at the shooting range where the guy at the next bench happens to have a Sako and you see through your spotting scope that he's shooting tiny little groups right in the bullseye. Or on a prairie dog hunt where your Remington is being knocked in the dirt by a "friend's" Sako. Sakoholism has even been known to develop in people who have never even fired a Sako just by holding one in a gun shop. The pushers are everywhere.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no twelve-step treatment for Sakoholism. The only way it has ever been arrested is for the victim to acquire so many Sakos that he is financially bankrupted and forced to go "cold turkey". However, the mental stress of such a "cure" is more than most afflicted Sakoholics can bear and usually results in their simply sitting at a computer staring at Sako porn sites like "Gunbroker" and similar sites which cater to a person's baser instincts.

However, the disease almost always has a happy ending: The poor addict ultimately dies and his family is left with dozens of beautiful, valuable heirlooms. The family members are usually not so prone to addiction, so each one takes a Sako home as a remembrance of Granddad, while Grandma takes a trip to Europe with the money from the sale of the rest of the Sako stash.

Kevin, easy fix!
Pop off the plastic center lens where your home phone number is printed and trim the photo to fit. Replace the lens, presto!
Ahhhh..tethered to the wall, by a 20’ coil of cable, like Hendrix plugged into his Marshalls!
Those were the days!

Gentlemen,
Don't remember where I heard this story ( CRS comes with birthdays)
It seems a man @ a hunting club had a very beautiful new rifle and while passing it around to his friends to admire, received a plethora of oos & ahaas. When the huntmaster said let's take it out & see how well it shoots!
The owner of the rifle said" I don't know , it's too beautiful to shoot!"
At that, the huntmaster said " I hope you don't have a beautiful wife"
(Don't blame me, It was the Hippie & Burnies Dad that got me started)
B/T
 
Love it!![emoji1787]

I prolly have more photos of Sako’s on my phone than women. Used to work with guys that had to show off their phone photos. I’d look , they’d look, we’d all look again. I’d break out my phone and show off a photo of a Deluxe whatever or a L46, which had absolutely nothing to do with the previous gentleman’s display. They’d just give me this sad look..like..you poor old hippie.
I only let them see the photos of rifles from a distance. The close ups , especially with the bolt open, are for My eyes only!:cool:

Hippie

What about if you feel bad when you put them back in the safe? Is that a sign?
