Got another rescue rifle today. I have ALWAYS been a fan of SAKO rifles and beside Ruger #1's they comprise a majority of manufacturers in my collection.
I sauntered into my LGS today (mistake #1) to buy some H380 for my 22-250 and lo and behold there was another lost puppy in the consignment rack, a SAKO 6mm PPC USA. Poor little thing was looking lost and lonely, so I thought I would just take a peek at what it would take, to leave with the ONLY factory produced 6mm PPC rifle. She was in excellent condition and had not been modified in any way (some folks replace the excellent SAKO trigger with an aftermarket one). The price tag was very fair, but I thought "what the heck" let's see how much she would REALLY cost. I put in an offer and after a short wait while the salesman contacted the owner and I left $700.00 poorer...
