If it’s 2,000 EUR that’s a great price. I wonder how much all the paperwork and shipping are? If I hadn’t just ordered a 9.3x62 custom…I would consider this. Nice idea for the future though. Thanks!

Even though it's a rechambering, I'm tempted simply because I've always been interested in a bigger bore in a stutzen/full length stock and I love Sakos. It's not particularly practical, and there's a risk the rechambering work wasn't done well (I'm not too confident based on the wonky stamp on the barrel), so I'll probably pass. But I'll be interested to hear how it looks/feeds/functions if someone takes the leap.

Did someone get a killer deal? I had my eye on it, but ended up going out for supper and errands with the family and missed the close.
Where did you see it mentioned that it was only 2000€ ?
That seems very low for this rifle.

I bid on a bunch of things from this sale. I only ended up getting a stock blank though.

I thought the prices were dang good, I just couldn’t justify any of them right now.
Was that gentleman a member here? Judging by the rifles and trophies, he had excellent taste.
I asked the seller, almost a year ago before I ordered my incoming custom rifle. He got back to me last week and said it was 2000 euros and that it was still for sale even though I asked about it so long ago.
Admittedly my french is sub-par, but I think I interpreted it correctly:
Bonsoir Monsieur
Elle est en vente au prix de 2000 euros.
Cordialement
I also thought it was cheap, but since I very much doubt I would be able to get a licence for it since I have allready applied for my incoming .375 H&H I decided to pass on the oppurtunity.
Sweden has quite hard rules about weapons licences.

I was hoping for action or two, but by the time I added in the currency conversion and import fees they weren’t looking cheap
That is a steal, for magnum actioned 416 Rigby, Dumoulin rifle with an optic installed. I think I need to send this to my brother!

I missed the previous sale from this estate. Had a Griffen & Howe 404 and a HoffmanArms 10.75x68. The latter went for around $1850.
Dangit. I always hear of good auctions on Hibid but it seems I watch like a hawk and it’s plain Jane/regular stuff. By the
Time unique auctions come around I’m worn out and not watching.

This is a gorgeous Ruger No. 1. Not sure how it will end up selling for, but considering it still has 13 days, I'm sure it will go for a lot higher.

Very nice, and the elusive bolt-mounted peep is a bonus.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
