As a small time Sako L46/L461(Vixen)/75/85 collector (l have 11 in 222/223/222 Rem Mag) I’d strongly recommend you keep it original at this stage. Once it is unoriginal it will always be that and...

I’ve got one (a lovely Sako L461 - part of my Sako Vixen collection). I do have some brass but if you have some I would be keen- will PM you.

Really sad given the action make. I would have thought getting scope bases straight would be relatively ‘bread and butter’ for a good gunsmith and easier on a Mauser given the flat base/reference...

I had a crossman air rifle as a kid that had a very thin barrel that was a liner floating in a length of thin tube/pipe. It would have been very easy to bend. Your ‘friend’ is still a plonker...

I’ve had Gunworks do this for me on a 7.62x39. Was in part forced on me when Baikal’s normally good (?) quality control let a rifle out of the factory with a grossly off-centre chamber. Gunworks...

I’ve had really good success forming, for example, 30 Gibbs from either 270 or 30-06 brass using something like AR2205, oatbran as a filler and then stabbing the neck into a candle and breaking it...

Hard to see from the photos; but given that the Kahles appears to be an Alloy tube/more contemporary model (? I might be wrong?) I expect it is a 1” scope tube. I’ve got several Kahles but don’t...

I struggled to get good velocity on 142’s with AR2225. RL33 was a revelation and put me comfortably at 3246fps with 142’s with moderate pressure.

Nice rifle. I’ve got Winchester big bores in 356 (basically the rarer 35 cal version of 307) and 375 Winchester Big Bore. I used to have a 307 as well but sold it as it was not quite collector...
