I've seen what appears to be good prices on Redfield scopes. These are made in Japan scopes. Are they any good? At one time when they were made in USA they had a good name. These new Redfields, are they just Tasco scopes with the Redfield name, or a quality scope? Not to say all Tasco scopes...

[ QUOTE ] Hi guys, I just wondered if any of you knew that it will soon be illegal for anyone under 18 to buy a hunting Knife, here in Britain ( the currentage is 16 ).This rediculous law concocted to combat rising knife crime is another nail in the coffin of common sense over political...

[ QUOTE ] Well, what brand is it? What model and extras? I personally have never seen or bought a "second rifle." Pics? No Pics...I have a hard enough time just using my computer, let alone taking the wifes camera and figuring out how to post a picture. Weatherby has a nice web site with...

I just purchased a factory second rifle. I did not even know it was a second untill the salesman brought out the box and pointed it out. I was wondering why the price on this new rifle was listed way under MSRP. MSRP on the makers web site was $1334. On a a Gun broker web site I found new...

I have a bad habit of swapping scopes from one rifle to another, or buying a new scope and putting it on a rifle that has a different size of scope. I'm wondering how often I can turn out the dove tail on redfield type of bases before I have problems with wear or slop. What tends to wear, the...

[ QUOTE ] Well, in all fairness to Weatherby, the rifles at Walmart or the $399.00 rifles, are made by Howa. Not real deal Weatherbys. I had a Sako .300 Win mag 75, SS and wished I had never sold it. The walnut 75 you are getting is beautiful!! Lucky guy..sakofan...Be sure to look at other...

[ QUOTE ] Sako's overpriced?!?!? Not hardly!! Sako's are the best "out of the box" hunting rifle's in the world. A Weatherby rifle. Now that's overpriced!! ..I remain sakofan.. [/ QUOTE ] I'm sure glad to here that Sako's are the best! I have two on layaway now. A 75 Finn-light in 30-06...

[ QUOTE ] Dude... sorry about that last post... I was thinking you said "300 WSM"... but I see you have a 30-06; so the action length issue is not relevant for you... thanks [/ QUOTE ] I plan on picking up a Sako 75 Walnut in 300 Win Mag to replace a browning rifle I sold. It seems everyone is...

[ QUOTE ] Dude... welcome to the forum... I recently installed a set of Leupold dovetail rings which I purchased from www.midwayusa.com for $45 (since you're a self-proclaimed bargain hunter)... they seem ok, haven't had a chance to shoot under them yet; also, don't know if you're aware of this...

I found it on another forum. It's 800-503-8869. It's a recall hot line. Apparently it is on guns purchased after Feb. 04. I left a message on their voice mail. I also found another post with a range of the serial numbers, the rifle I have a question about looks like it was a gun made before...

Hi ya all, just found this message board tonight and posted inquiring about scope mounts for a stainless Safo finn-lite in 30-06. Quoted this from a responce Larry O gave: recall on some stainless sakos... better call the sako hotline to see if your rifle is included (you'll need the serial...

Have a Sako 75 Finn-lite in 30:06 on layaway at a local sporting goods store. The price was really great and rifle really felt good in my hands. I purchased a Pentax 4.5-14 50mm AO white tail hunter rifle scope for it. Another good deal. I am a bargen hunter too! Now I need to find ring...
