• 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 all, Just got a SAKO AIII 30-06 from my father. First one I have owned. Hunt mostly in North Idaho. Elk, Deer, etc. This should be a good one.
 
The .30-06 is now 113 years old! How could such an old cartridge possibly kill a deer, much less an elk?:eek:

However, if where you hunt in Northern Idaho is remote enough that there is no broad band service and the animals there don't have access to the latest information on the internet then they won't realize that old-fashioned cartridges like the .30-06 won't kill them and they'll die anyway. The .30-06 still works in remote places like Africa, where my son took 8 head of game with about 10 shots from the Sako .30-06 I gave him.

Congratulations on your Sako!

I guess I shouldn’t mention the other rifle he gave me. A 1937 300 Savage he bought new. At least that one I know the whole history on.
