    Everything about it is suspicious. Just as good as a new $14k Highlander! Except in fit, finish, or function.

    Handgun for wolf protection

    If he hasn’t been worried about mountain lions and black bears, he doesn’t need to be worried about wolves. Really, there’s no animal in Colorado that he really needs to be concerned about while he’s out hiking. Grizzly bears are about the only thing in the lower 48 worth being nervous about.

    Sako L61R .30-06 With Leupold VX3i 2.5-8x36

    I’ve decide to sell my Sako L61R .30-06 with Leupold VX3i 2.5-8x36. I originally bought this about 4 or 5 years ago with the intention of turning it into a 35 whelen. It’s still a .30-06 and I’m moving overseas for a couple years so it’s time to give it up. The previous owner had the barrel...

    Is it disrespectful to the animal?

    I think the animal would take more issue with you cutting off its head and putting it on your wall than with your wife putting a hat on it. Honestly, the animal doesn’t care. I suspect you’re the one who feels disrespected because she doesn’t hold “your” mounts in the same esteem as you do...

    Custom .416 Rem Interarms Mauser

    Interarms used Zastava (Yugoslavian) commercial Mauser actions that they imported and built rifles on in Manchester, England. They are very nice commercial actions. Just to be clear, the stock and barrel on this rifle are NOT from Interarms. Interarms was never putting out rifles with quarter...

    Custom .416 Rem Interarms Mauser

    My understanding is that they were standard length actions that were opened up internally to make room for the .375 H&H (and in this case the .416 rem).

    Custom .416 Rem Interarms Mauser

    Interarms Mark X in .416 Rem with a Douglas barrel. It’s a 26” 8 groove barrel with a quarter rib and folding leaf sights at 100, 200, and 300 yards and an under barrel sling swivel. The wood is very nice. If anything, it’s better than the pictures let on. It has a 14.5” length of pull with a...

    Best Place to Sell Firearms etc?

    My advice - post them on here for a price you’d be happy to sell them at. You might not find buyers at the price you want. That’s ok. Some get offended by what they consider “low ball” offers, so make it clear in the sales ad if your price is “firm” and not open to negotiation. If you don’t...

    1937 Springfield 1903 With Weaver K6-1

    Springfield 1903 in a sporter/target stock. Manufactured in 1937…barrel seems to match as it’s marked 4-37. Receiver has been drilled for weaver mounts and is currently wearing a Weaver K6-1. Scope is in very good to great condition. Also includes a Lyman peep and front sight. Stock seems...

    Trijicon Acog Dangerous Game scope

    I don’t find ACOGs as terrible as many here but I’ve only ever used them on service weapons. They were obviously purpose built for that application. If you’ve never shot through one, they feel very different than a traditional scope, but I couldn’t tell you how without paying more attention...

    Elk at 688 yards with a 243

    No doubt. Something I need to better understand. I mount scopes wherever seems right when I first put it on…I don’t give much thought or make any real adjustments to get it right. I do appreciate adjustable stocks for their ability to really make you feel locked in behind a rifle. I rarely...

    Elk at 688 yards with a 243

    Yea, absolutely. Much more margin for error at 60 yards than 600. A twitch that moves you two inches at 60 yards moves you almost two feet at 600. The movement is the same at 600 whether you have a 10x or 25x scope, though, and the movement seems much more pronounced and distracting with a...

    Elk at 688 yards with a 243

    Yep. And the compound bow hunters will complain about the crossbow hunters, and the recurve guys will complain about the compound bow guys. Somewhere out there there’s a “real hunter” that strangles all his game to death with his bare hands. Anyone who uses a rifle and shoots game at 200-300...

    Elk at 688 yards with a 243

    I don't disagree with much of what you say. Higher power scopes are more popular. I don't think they're more popular because they're better for shooting large mammals at long range. They're more popular because they're better for putting tiny holes in pieces of paper that don't move from a...

    Elk at 688 yards with a 243

    It is easier to "see" a deer with a 10x scope at 600 yards than it is to see one at 100 yards with your naked eye. Do you need magnification to aim at deer greater than 60 yards away? Would you be comfortable shooting at one with a red dot at that distant, or with iron sights? If so, 10x...

    Elk at 688 yards with a 243

    10x is plenty of power for deer or larger sized game out to 600

    Sako Safari .375 H&H

    These are really nice rifles. I love the quarter rib they did in the AIVs. I don’t know why they stopped doing it when they switched to producing the .375s on the AV actions. I don’t know if Sako was ever porting these themselves (seems doubtful) or if maybe a distributor was porting some as...

    Wyoming Elk Clothing Suggestions

    I’ve hunted antelope a few times in that area and around that time of the year. The weather can vary considerably…and the wind can blow hard. As far as clothing brands—use whatever fits you best. Any good quality base layer will do. I like wool. First Lite and Kuiu are good, but so is...

    Sako 75 Deluxe .375 H&H With Schmidt & Bender

    Thank you! I thought I’d never sell it, but after I saw a couple of the ones you listed, I figured why not. I hate the idea of it sitting in storage for years.

    If someone wants the rifle but a variable scope, I will sell the buyer a VX3HD 1.5-5x20 at a good price.

I've decided to sell it and a couple of others to hopefully fund a short notice Alaska trip this fall before I go overseas. This is a gorgeous Sako 75...
