Tomorrow (Wednesday the 27th) is SOG's (Southern Ohio Gun) Wild Card Day. This means that tomorrow they will honor any of their one dat specials that they have had this month. I think the only good one is 3 Romanian .22 cal Training Rifles for $99. They are in Very Good to Excellent condition. Handpick is available for $5 each and I would recommend it. From what I hear these are great little rifles and I plan on ordering 3 of em. They are bolt action and have 5 shot detachable mags. 23" barrels and 41" overal length. Just passing it on. You can call em at 1-800-944-4867. I am just passing this on as I though some of you might be interested.

These rifles are great! I bought one a few months ago. The barrel is free floated, which helps make the gun a tack driver. Mine was dead-on straight from the box. A great buy.
 
Does SOG do direct sales to the puplic? I was under the impression that they were strictly distributors to dealers only.

I've got one of those rifles, and I'll vouch for their accuracy (if mine is any indication of the rest of them, anyway).

Three for $99 sounds almost like buy one, get two free! (At the very least it's buy two, get one free.)
 
hksigwalther - SOG does sell to the public. I got an SKS from them. Well I was not able to order the Romanian Training RIfles today.... just got caught up in things and did not get around to it. No biggie. They are $39.95 each normally or 3 or more for $37.95 each, so it is not huge savings. You can buy em for that price any day from them.
 
I was (and maybe still am) intersted in these, but I looked at one at "Big 5" sporting goods (a chain all over California...and I don't know where else). Anyway, I removed the bolt and had a very difficult time replacing it. Upon closer inspection, and after talking with the clerk, it appears that this design relies on an exposed cut in the wood stock to hold things together to enable replacement of the bolt. If the wood wears down or chips off at that point (as this one had), the going gets tough. The clerk said this is a pretty common problem with these rifles. Also, the rifle appeared to be pretty roughly made all-around. Anyway, for $33 it would probably still be a great buy, but I must admit to having been disappointed by the design and construction. I was thinking of buying some for a Boy Scout troop to refinish and use, but I couldn't see any real good way to reinforce the wood in that area. This may have just been that rifle, but it is something to be aware of.

WHAAAAT?!! Looks like I'll be doing some traveling. Can someone tell me the best way to get to SOG? (From SE Ohio).

hksigwalther,

Probably just come over on 32, north on 275, then north on 71. I think that they are in the Lebanon area.

The notch in the stock is just for the engagement block on the firing pin to clear and no big deal. The bolt just slides in unless the notch is full of dried grease or varnish. The express type sites and quality of the barrels on these are just fantastic and make up for the crude stock finish and such. :) :)

Radom,
It was not that the groove was blocked with anything. It was clear. But the top right edge (wood) has to be intact to hold down some part of the bolt and permit it to be inserted. If it is intact, you'd probably never be aware it served any significant purpose. But it was worn/chipped off on the rifle I handled, making it quite a trick to re-insert the bolt. The salesman said they had to send some back because of this problem (which would not be at all apparent until you removed and tried to replace the bolt). I hope I'm explaining this correctly - I don't have the rifle in front of me. Anyway, this probably isn't that big a deal, but it might be something to watch for. You've got me thinking of getting one of these anyway.
