OOPS! Think I posted in wrong section?

 

[mdsalern]

Is yours a Brown Bear or an Elephant model?

 

[SDPlinker]

As far as I am aware, there was a Brown Bear with laminated and a safari in walnut stock, someone please correct if I am incorrect?

 

[mdsalern]

You are correct, those were the two.

I was asking as other one recently posted for sale is listed as an Elephant model.

 

[SDPlinker]

Due diligence is a good thing!
Thank you for asking sir!

Wrong side of the pond for me. GLWS thats a very fair price. The 500 Bolt guns truly are a thing of wonderment and feel like a wand of power once you can use them well.

 

[SDPlinker]

Thank you! It is a fine rifle, I have argued with myself several times on selling, but sitting in the safe does it no glory.

 

[Daniel Cary]

It will sell.

Sako, to my understanding made two. 500's.
The Brown Bear & The Premium (significant Cost difference, 24" Barrel, etc.) The Premium XL was discontinued long before the Brown Bear, I believe.

I had seen that one, what a beauty! I could not take that hunting.

I had seen that one, what a beauty! I could not take that hunting.

Likewise, as ridiculous as it may sound. However, this Brown Bear gained a notoriety (regardless of professional opinion, downfalls or success) .. I've never seen one "For Sale", short of here on AH.

Do you have the Box to this, just out of curiosity.
Thank you.

 

[SDPlinker]

No, I sure don't! I have not either, it seems maybe folks hang on or not many around?

4150.00 Shipped and insured CONUS, FFL to FFL no Pelican case or ammunition. NO California!

The Safari models started about 10K USD, and went up from there. I think the Safari Anniversary model started around 25K USD.

 

[SDPlinker]

SOLD

 

[SDPlinker]

Thank you for the likes folks, my FFL bought it and the ammo. I was hopeful someone here would take it, it was hard to let it go, I am just getting too old to have safe queens.
