Have you ever put something up for “safe keeping “ and then can’t find it when you want it

Nah Tom
If he doesn't get his bolt I will just let him borrow my 6BRA as long as he brings that good load he has for the one with the missing bolt.
P.S. he will have to get used to using the bolt on the wrong side though.LOL

I had the varmint model s#10X when they first came to the US. It was before I started in bench rest, I only shot offhand matches then. It was the most accurate rifle I had ever shot, but it had a two stage trigger that I did not like so I sold it. Several years ago I found another one, new unfired in the box s#9x, with a single stage trigger. I then found out they were shipped here with both style triggers. It was a 5/8 gun on its best days, more often 3/4. Easy fix, needs bedded. Since I had paid a lot of money for it, instead of bedding it myself I had a nationally known stock maker bed it. We had a differing opinion on how to bed it but he wrote in detail on the WO how I wanted it done and agreed to do it. When I picked it up I saw it was not done my way. Paid for it and went to the range. Now at best it was 3/4. Redid the bedding myself, went back to the original group sizes, not great by any means. Got lucky and sold it to a farmer to shoot groundhogs, he was happy, I got my money back, I was happy. Moral of story, If you find an unfired one I hope it's like my first one. My archery hunting buddy had a Sporter in .22PPC that shot great.Got bored with it, sold it, still crys about selling it. Good luck.You know they made some 75s in 6PPC. I saw one that was put into a bencrest stock, nothing else changed. Shot like a built gun. Don't pass one of those up.
The one i missed was also a varmint model with the heavy barrel, also a very low serial #. A friend of mine has a heavy barrel/varmint 75 in PPC and its very nice and shoots lites out but I really like the A series. I have a couple As, a75 and a 85 and would swop the modern actions for A series any day.
All of you south paws stick together.bolt looks right to me
Would they be a hillbily lock are Ridge-runner lock LOL
If he'd move his shooting bench inside of the barn; he might be able to hit something.

Oof, that is an especially nice stock for a Sako 6PPC.
Has it been fired before? If it’s never been fired you might want to set that one aside and pick up a shooter grade instead. Speaking as a guy with a couple of them in shooter grade condition.

Yes it has been fired and I will hunt with it. Looking at the bore just in front of the throat though it doesn’t appear to have been fired much.
