• 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

I found a sako AV581xxx never fired new in box paper work.
7mm rem. mag it is a deluxe.it looks like it is a maple stock with rosewood forend and grip cap .the wood is very light and fiddle backed.looks nice. what do you think it is worth ?
thank you?
 
Sorry but the stock is not maple it may be birch or european walnut - in Alaska a gun like yours sell for about $800 - try gunsamerica.com - it seems to be the best venue for Sakos and the buyer are east coast. what it is worth is what someone will pay in cash.
 
The stock is European Walnut. The rifle unfired NIB is worth $1200.00 to $1400.00 with nice wood. I would insure it for 1500. Regards, Rick.
 
I can't explain it but a trend I have noticed over the last few years is that out of nearly all calibers, for some strange reason, 7mm Rem mags seems to command the least $, all other things being equal.

Anyone else noticed this?
 
you got it, Dave. For this simple reason: Of the magnum calibers produced, the 7mm is the most numerous, and may have production numbers approaching the .30-06 and .243. I think this applies to guns made from the '60s all the way through the '90s.

Well, the reason they are so numerous is that they were so popular. The 7mag is still about the best long range deer, Pronghorn and sheep rifle around. A NIB L61R is still very hard to find. The new ultra mags numbers are dwindling. The 7 MM Ultra is having throat erosion problems. The good old 7mag doesn't beat the crap out of you either! Regards, Rick.
