The first three Finnish rifles I ever owned (and still have) were Russian reworks A 91/30, 91/24 and an M39. Two Sakos and a Valmet. All three were brass bedded (yes!) and shoot far better than they have a right to. I bought them when everyone sold those crappy "Russian 91/30s" for a song. Few people knew about Finns skills with arms.

The 1924 is worth some money apparently.

The only rifle that I sold which I truly regret is a 695 that was chambered in 6.5x55mm. Oddly, I had two 6.5x55mm Mausers and sold off the Tikka! 20-20 hindsight.


Safe Shooting!
