Just out of curiosity, what happened to the original stock?
 
Ok, don't beat me up too bad over this question. I understand that this rifle is a .284 caliber, but could you please tell me what cartridge it takes?

I suspect it is chambered in 284 Winchester, which was a cataloged item for the Safari Grades in the 1960's, utilizing the same Browning-specific Sako L579 action variant that was used for the medium length cartridges like 22-250, 243, and 308 Winchester.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
