• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

Hi I'm new to the site and I have a question, I just saw a sale listing today and it listed for sale a SAKO VIXEN L461 222 MAGNUM missing the bolt. Can a bolt be had and at what cost? thanks BOB
 
Even if you found a bolt and that won't be easy, you would have to check the head space and there a good chance the head space would not be correct. Then you have to get a gunsmith involved. Unless you can get the rifle for next to nothing I would keep looking, Grizz.
 
pahoghunter,it is not an inpossible item to find but perhaps a very difficult one. I have seen others looking an am not sure if they found what they were looking for.Perhaps someone will chime in soon and give more details on this subject.Who knows you may get lucky.If you did find one for the rifle you of course should have the head spacing checked before firing the gun.Could be a safety issue.You are at the right place to get direction on this.Perhaps you should post in the wanted section and see what responses you get. Good luck Jim
 
pahoghunter,I should have mentioned the google search function on this site.If you will look at the top of the forum page you will find it.Just type in L461 bolt and you will get previous threads reguarding this subject. Jim

Thank you for the information, I think I will pass unless of course it goes for a really low price which I don't think will happen, people do really crazy things at auctons. I may look at the Sako A-7, I'm still active in varmint hunting and for some unknown reason I like synthetic stocks.
