SnowwolfeNeed a Sako 375?
http://www.forthehunt.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=87071349May the best bidder win, lol. Which is me at the present but someone may need this more than I do and I do not mind sharing.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

ROSCOEI used a similar rifle on my first hunt to africa...great guns. Mine was very accurate and a pleasure to carry. I sold it last year to fund another 375 rifle with a plastic stock. IMO there is not a finer factory LH 375 H&H rifle out there.

MattkccI want to know who got the Sako 22-250 for $899 with the "Buy it Now" button, Why lord did I hesitate.

SnowwolfeNow that I own it I will have to find a use for it!
Just curious, was the price I paid reasonable? I rarely see these for sale (left handed versions that is).
When were they last made?

Gerrysnowwolfe,
Haven't got a clue what it's worth but it certainly appeared from the photos to be a nice rifle and what you paid seems pretty reasonable IMO for a L/H rifle chmabered in a great cartridge.
Good Luck with your new Boomer!
Cheers,

ROSCOEI sold mine for $1500 on Gunbroker. It included Sako Rings and did not have the noise maker on the end, other than that it was a similar rifle.

SnowwolfeRoscoe,
Damn, I was going to make this into another big boomer like a Lott or something. Now I guess I better keep it stock.
Thanks

How many left hand 375 H&H's have you seen sell for 800 bucks lately? Not bloody many. Yeah, it's a push feed ... so what? It is a quality rifle. I think you got a buy. My $0.02 worth.

GeorgeSSnowwolfe,
You paid a fair price. I paid $700 for mine new back in 1990.
These particular Sakos are the best push-feeds I've ever used, and mine are extremely accurate.

SnowwolfeI need to get a "cap" made for that brake. That thing looks horrible.
What length of barrel did these rifles have from the factory?

GeorgeSThe barrel on my unaltered LH Sako .375H&H was 24".

I think there are better options for a lott...but to each his own. These are light for caliber rifles and are a joy to carry. All the old Sako rifles I own have shot very well. The way you trade rifles, you should come out fine on this one.

SnowwolfeRoscoe!
I am getting better. I have a love affair with 375's. What can I say
I did manage to keep my Custom Shop Rem 700 375 for about 12 years before I finally got tired of the trigger freezing up in the winter and sold it.
Maybe I need an intervention. Seems like everytime I find a 375 I like something better comes along. That is how I ended up with my Dakota 76 in 375 Wby and this Sako.

cmfic1You know Snowwolfe, I have been following your buys & sells for a couple yrs now.....and it justs upsets me when I read your posts now, you not only find good deals, you then post them. And being from Canada it is just horrible being a LH'er and reading this all the time....man o' man, why are there so few Lefties for sale up here?
I'm envious man!

Snowwolfecmfic1,
I posted that Sako before bidding ended as I didnt mind if I were outbidded.
Why is it so difficult to have a rifle imported into Canada?

cmfic1Snowwolfe...my post was all in fun.
Actually, all I knew of importing guns to Canada was that it was a painful, red-tape, long wait ordeal. But I have since found out otherwise.
I just bought a Win. LH Stainless/Blue .270 from Texas. It was shipped to an FFL holder in MT, I got the paperwork in (supposed to take a few weeks), then they ship it up. The cost for the exporter is about $75/gun, but I guess shipping is a couple hundred, so I may wait until I have another one or two, then have them shipped, or see if I can drive down and get them (about 7hrs one way).
Now all I need to do is find a Dakota, a Sako or two, and a bunch more Winnys!

SnowwolfeOr just order a couple of barreled actions from Montana Rifle Company and pick them up on the drive down

cmfic1I have a real blister on my azz with MRC right now. I have 2 of their Actions, and have been waiting for the proper parts for one of them for about 8 months now, and guess what? not one single reply by phone or email in the last 3.....figures!

SnowwolfeThat doesnt sound like them. They installed the incorrect barrel contour on my last Lott and they had it back in my hands within a month of the day I shipped it to them.
Jon (I think thats his name) kept me informed via email's as well.
What parts do you need? What happened?
