Looking for some more expert advice as to the worth of a gun I came into. Picked up this Sako .375 H&H with a Mauser action recently because I thought it was too good a deal to pass up on. I didn't really know much about the gun (and still don't), but I'd like some more information before I...

Ah yes, sorry that I forgot all that information. i have hunted much small game, but I suppose you are looking for big game lists haha. Whitetail deer is the main focus here, but black bear and moose are common game as well. Hoping to go for elk this fall, although work may prevent that. I do...

Thanks to all! CLS, what part of Canuckistan are you from? I'm from SK

Ah, that makes sense then. I'll need to look into that a lot more to nail something down. I found an old advertisement for the High Power that sounds exactly like mine. Ray, that sounds like a useful design... but it still isn't comfortable haha. Mind you, a bruised cheek is even more so

Ah yes, I had read that the Browning Safari rifles were very similar to this particular model. I'm glad you mentioned the high cheek piece, I thought I had forgot how to shoulder a rifle when my regular hold couldn't line the sights up! As to the value, I had read on a Sako Collector's forum...

Interesting. I was certainly told that it is a FN Mauser action, which ought to predate the Sako actions, correct?

Hello to all! I've been a hunter all my life but have yet to go overseas to chase down game. Reading African hunting stories (like those by Peter Capstick) got me interested in African game, which seems far more challenging than North American game. I look forward to reading through the forums...
