This is my Sako AV in .270 Winchester for reference.

Yes the wood is fairly plain on this gun, but honestly it isn't bad. I do have rifles with nicer wood and while I really appreciate nice walnut they really do not shoot any better than the ones I own with plain stocks. I hear you though, for this to be one of Rugers higher end models it would...

To say that I am happy right now is an understatement, can't wait for some range time!

I can not personally attest to the performance of the .280 Remington as I have never owned one however I have had a Remington 710 in .270 Winchester for 20 years now and it is a tack driver out to 250 yards. My Dad has a Sako AV also in .270 Winchester and has used it since the mid 1970s and it...

Dang it!!! Just spent my mad money stash on a Sako L461 Vixen in .223 Remington. That's a sweet rifle for a very fair price, I paid within $100.00 for the Sako and it had no sights or optics. Good luck, this should honestly already be gone.

I am 45 minutes west of Athens, small world!

Hello everybody, I found this place while doing a Google search for a 1903 Springfield action. I had never heard of this site before and was amazed when I started reading at the knowledge base here. I have never been to Africa (been fishing in Alaska several times) but a Safari is definitely...
