Amen to that! Maybe we should ban him, I mean if he is going to be that hard on our wallets No I am very glad to see the love for these great rifles. I have been wanting another one for awhile and been shipping out some stuff I don't use anymore. I am kinda in the boat market so if I pull the trigger on a big river boat then I might have to wait awhile I just have a hard time picking a cartridge because I have so many that are so close or the same already.

 28 gauge
 12 gauge
 9MM
.45 ACP
.243
.257 Roberts
.270
 30-30
.308
 30-06
.300 WM
.300 Rem Ultra Mag (for a good friend)
.270 WSM
.325 WSM


Hey Carp....guess what....seems a I could use a 7MM Rem Mag....wonder what I could find in that caliber...something "Golden" maybe.  Why did you show me that, darn you!!!

  I have just spent the last half hr looking at sako's The Blondie's are my fave in the finnbears. They are just so sexy with the rosewood tip and light color. I have been looking at the 270's and 375hh. Don't really need any more 270's I have 3 wins and 2 wsm's Have always liked the old 375 HH, might just have to add another Blondie to the safe!

Oh that golden would be sweet

Here is a super cool golden anniversary sako. It has been on gb for a long time. I watch all the older sako's on there at least once a week. I plan on adding another to my collection one of these years.

Sky- it sure has. It has taken 5 bears/1 stag/1 elk/1 fallow/2 boar/ to many deer to count at least 20. So many wonderful memories. I hope to hand it down someday when I have kids.

Thanks wac- glad to see some others that are passionate about the sako's like I am.

That is a work of art!

I love Sako's, my Finlight in 300 win mag (I know not wood  ) is my go to gun. Incredible gun with the best trigger of all my rifles.

The older Sakos are Mausers built to higher quality standards.  In my world, the rifles built by craftsmen, not computers, have souls.  The first one hole group I saw was from a Sako in .243.  It belong to an older gentleman who let me shoot a group through it.  Very solid rifle, but out of my price range.   At that time,I had a Sears Parker-Hale that I paid about $225 for.  I would enjoy owning a Sako, Belgian Browning or a pre-64 Winchester, but now I am at that practical thinking age.
