Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Sako AV Carbine Handy

Well I traded Lenny (303 Savage) for this and intended to keep it but if someone is interested I'll let'er go. You don't see many of these for sale and this one is new, unfired, with the box. The box does have some damage but not bad in my opinion. Added in are a new set of sako low optilock rings. The scope is NOT included, but for reference it's a 44 mm, so even the low rings can hold a good size scope. This is a 7mm Rem mag, beautiful wood and I can't find a mark on the wood or bluing. Barrel is 18 1/2 inches. No trades and will ship from my FFL to yours. $1475 USPS money order. I've been having some issues with this site on my laptop, so if it takes me some time to get back to you please be patient.

It is as perfect as described, and you will not find a better person to deal with.

Thanks Lenny, likewise.

Beautiful rifle. I have a Battue in 308; pretty similar. Short of muzzle blast, these short rifles are just the handiest (hence the name) to carry and shoot.

TTT for today.

Drop to $1375 shipped, and will sweeten the pot with 2 boxes of factory ammo. You won't be disappointed in this one. Otherwise I might just have to use it this year for what it was meant for!

Guess I'll give 'er a holiday bump, just in case.

I've shot one of those Sako AV Carbines in .375 H&H at the range.

It sure was a dream to carry, and it pointed like a nice shotgun!

I always use good hearing protection at the range, so I didn't think it was much worse to shoot than either my .375 H&H rifles. However, none of them would be my choice for shooting prone!

Last bump before it goes back in the safe. Rifle, new rings and 2 boxes of factory ammo $1350 shipped! Have a happy 4th!!

Back up just in case. Rifle, rings, 2 boxes of ammo, $1350 shipped.

A little closer to hunting season!! $1300 ??

TTT, tough economy, either that or I'm way off on price.

I don't think you're off at all; I'm sorely tempted, but have my 308 battue. Maybe it's the mag thing with the short barrel. Seems about the most perfect moose gun I could think of. Why not try posting it here?

Sure is tempting, but the 7mm Mag in a 18 1/2" bbl keeps turning me back. Why Sako opted for that combination has me guessing. 7 mm Mag with a 18 1/2' bbl is kinda like putting lipstick on a pig, if you know what I mean.

Beautiful rifle - best of luck with your sale

Thanks for the imput, I may try the sako site also. I thought the barrel length in the 7 might give some pause, but seriously don't see a problem for most use.

TTT $1250 shipped.
