Very nice rifle, I have one in similar condition in 30-06. Very accurate. For anyone interested you can get on the sako collectors forum and they have a link you can get the original sako records for the rifle for about $20. I have scans of the handwritten ledger. Mine was made August 11th...

It's not in the cards for me right now. But just a few more years and I'll be jumping on one of these deals.

I just sold an old diesel 350 that didn't run for 1,500. Cost them another 1500 to get it running and still needed more work as the steering brakes were locked up from sitting almost 30 years. So sounds like a good price to me

I won't be able to check them until tonight but I believe you're correct that they are all 10". I'm open to offers if anyone is interested in them.

Honestly I don't know. I can measure them tomorrow The one has never been taken out of the package

Thank you, Gunshop owner's book didn't show a premium over other calibers and wanted me to list it on consignment at 650. Pretty sure it's worth at least double that. It does have the stupid crossbolt safety though, it's from the early 90s I think.

I have a 625 mountain gun from the first run back in the early 90s i think. I love that one and took a mountain lion with it. Also a 32 h&r magnum. I bought that one new but currently have it in consignment at a local gunshop. Don't wanna put more wear on it and it's fairly collectible.

I have 2 57s. Recently inherited from my uncle. One like yours and a longer barrel also. I've not fired them at all yet though. I also have a new in the box marlin 1894s but I think that will be sold for my aunt. Just not sure the value at this point.

I have 3 vintage holsters for a contender. 2 used and 1 still in the packaging. I would guess 30+ years old. Helping my aunt sell my late uncle's things. $225 shipped for all 3.

Condolences and prayers, I felt this way about my grandfather. My mom's step dad with no kids of his own. A better man didn't exist.

I've only used Andy at shadow aviation out of fairbanks. Super safe, fair and honest

I have 6 at the moment. I'm booked for bear in September in Michigan after a 10 yr wait. And muskox in February. I'll likely never get a sheep or goat. I dropped out of applying in Colorado as I'd rather spend the money on something further from home. I've killed 2 aoudad if that counts...

Interestingly, due to the new airport opening in Nuuk the end of this year I'm no longer seeing direct flights in from Copenhagen at the time I'm going. Copenhagen to nuuk to kangerlussuaq for a total of 24 hours and double the price. Return is direct though. I'll be checking with an...

Did you go early just to look around? Or to prevent possible delays. That's been a concern of mine. Also where did you stay along the way

Look forward to the whole report. I'll be there the first hunt of 25
