Many Browning Safari's were made at Fabrique (FN) in Belgium. Later the smaller calibers were made in Sweden. They were marked Sako because that is who made them (Browning really never made anything themselves.) They are great rifles, they don't have the mauser extractors, but who cares, especially in the smaller calibers. If it is less than 1000 bucks, you will make money. They are great rifles.
They were made in Finland,not Sweden.Early Sako action guns were actually made in Belgium-Sako shipped actions there,then FN barreled them and stocked them.Later,it became cheaper to send barreled actions,and they were marked made in Finland.
And lots of the Mauser actioned guns have long extractors (Mauser extractors,CRF,whatever).All 270s and 30/06s do,and every Mauser action caliber made before mid-1967.
