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!

Aw nice thank you. I studied IR actually, my goal was to work for the foreign service. I just went elsewhere. I lived in Helsinki for a year though. Now I'm in a small town. I was considering a valmet shotgun, but I got a great deal on a 870 and that seemed like a better option
ei lol...
My finnish is terrible. Still need to take it seriously and take lessons. I wind up learning just basics in whatever job im doing but I need to get down into it. You speak Finnish? In Arizona?
Well, while you are giving out free advice...let me pick your brain a bit! I just messaged the guy about the first sako, he sent me some photos and I was hoping you or someone else could weigh in on them. I may try to talk the price down if he keeps the 5 round magazine..I think having 2x 3...
Great advice thank you. The few L46 I have seen all seem to come with several magazines, which is nice. A couple have leupold scopes which is also what drew me to them. I think all of them actually have monte carlo stocks, which is nice. Most are private sales, but perhaps looking specifically...
I came here at the time because I was with a Finnish girl, after about 2 years your relationship qualifies as a partnership and you get whats called a Class A visa, this means you can work and even own a firearm. First you get a 1 year, then reapply for a 4 year (where I am now) and then you can...
Hey guys,
I am looking to buy a new small game/grouse gun. At first I had my heart set on a CZ in .17hmr but then I thought, well...I am in the land of Sako, may as well do as the Finns do.
So black grouse and caipercaille are usually taken on the tops of trees around 100m. I would say the...
Hey folks,
I'm actually from MA but I moved to Finland so here I am. I came to the forum because I started looking at buying an old Sako L46 or L461 and I frankly don't know much about them and I am having a tougher time finding out about them. But I reckon I will make an actual post in that...
