Message me if you are interested. Also have reloading equipment and brass for the PPC.
Sorry I think it may be a 6mm, but will check with local gun shop. I inherited the rifle and only know that it is old and rare.

How much and photos? People like to buy with their eyes :yarr:
Is it a single shot or magazine fed?
Will post some photos tomorrow ��
Single shot
Here are some photos. It is a 22 cal ppc USA made in Finland. It says Sako ppc b 990. I believe it needs a trigger guard and perhaps a clean of the trigger assembly. The bolt has surface rust but comes off with a scrub and some oil. Inside barrel looks good outside has some small surface rust spots. Would recommend you view.

And your price please?
It should have the calibre stamped on the left side of the barrel just in front of the receiver.
Had a single shot 6 PPC I bought new in 1989 by special order. The bloke I sold it to says it still groups around .2 MOA for five shots after 1600 odd rounds. Not many of the single shot rifles in 6 PPC and .22 PPC were imported into NZ. The magazine versions were more common and even then, not that common.
the same rifle that was on TM a little while ago . . . very desirable if its not been abused, to much . . going by how the butt pad has been put on, the rust, trigger guard missing its not been looked after . . . what a shame.
Yeah and on TM it had a $7000 reserve :ORLY::wtfsmilie: I don't think the owners of this deceased estate know much about the current value in it's current state. I thought the one and only bid for 1K would have been tops.Quote:

i said here i was interested with reservations, i said i would go as high as $1500 with the reloading gear etc if the barrel checked out, that is a factQuote:

good luck with saling the rifle . . . R
how dare you Rossi. You have never ever seen the rifle to even be able to comment on the condition. How dare you be so rude towards me and my late father. How do you live with yourself after attacking people you don't know. Easy to hide behind social media. I will never sell this firearm to you EVER, so stop emailing me. With such a horrific temper displayed on social media, how are you even mentally fit to handle firearms? My suggestion to you is to grow up, stop abusing people you don't even know, because if you continue I will lay a complaint with this site.
Mod needs to kill this thread
Roger that specweapon.
Well that went south,
I agree this thread should be killed or at least the hissing and scratching deleted.
I am somewhat interested in this rifle, however, photo's are very poor, and parts are missing, owner has stated viewing, but has no location. and has failed to provide a price when asked.
I have just bought a sako 6ppc HB, repeater In Canada, as new condition, with match grade Redding dies,($200) Wilson body dies, and 450 brass, ($1.50 each) kreiger match grade barrel, and proven <..250-.300 capable, pd $1800 cad, (NZ $2200) great price, would have pd more, but guy wanted it to go to someone, just starting out competing, so cut me a deal. did take 7 years to find one thought.
Suzie, Your fathers rifle is quite desirable, to a very small percentage of shooters, it condition, and especially the missing trigger guard, (that may be imposable to source), have reduced the value considerably, and reduced the percentage, who might be interested further,
I wouldn't be prepared to pay, any thing close, to what a new M85 sako .223 varmint, could be bought for, (probably not, what you want to hear) I suspect, most others likely feel the same.
I am going to see, if I can source a trigger guard, and would be interested in viewing, and better quality pictures,
If there are any components' (brass, Bullets, powder) and reloading tooling, I would be interested in them, likey as will others.

The butt pad is almost certainly an aftermarket adjustable one that many competition shooters used. The raised position as shown in the seller's picture was normally used for the prone position. The pad was usually dropped down to it's lowest position when shooting standing.Quote:

Hi Suze, as you are new here I should point out the section saying "Posting sale items- a guide" states that people selling are expected to put up a price that they are willing to sell at
Good luck with your sale
Hi southern man, I am going to take the rifle to hunting and fishing for their gunsmith to give a condition report. There only reason I put the reserve at $7000 on trademe was because I wanted to see how much interest was generated, not to sell it. I really am after reasonable offers, knowing how rare this item is, but well aware of its condition. The photos don't do the rifle justice and will see if I can get better ones up. I am not after big money, more that I want it to go to someone who appreciates this weapon for what it is, my father cherished this gun, and yes in the last two years of his life he wasn't able to care for it properly, but doesn't mean he never did. I. Have the ppc shells and reloading gear. My understanding is that Sako in Finland can source parts.
Location is Dunedin, nz
i suggest you learn to understand the English language and leave out the over emotional reference about your father, who nodoubt would turn over in his grave if he saw how his rifle was treated . . . if you remember i tried to help you with suggestions on getting REAL expert advice about the rifles condition, not the hillbilly relative that you have used. Getting decent images of the rifle so people could judge for themselves and bid accordingly.
you cant fix stupid . . . good luck
Hi, there is a gunsmith up this way who imported a few of these years ago for target shooters. If you want to make contact with him for advice or appraisal P/M me.Quote:

And now you are insulting my relative, a hillbilly you say. For your information he was a weapons expert in the armed forces. I suggest you shut your mouth, stop acting like a child who hasn't gotten his own way, stop insulting me and my family, and stop making accusations to, of what you know nothing about.
