I have the partner to that rifle; Sako L61R Deluxe in the 13,000 serial range chambered in 264 Win Mag. Bofors marked with the sight hood as well. The stock is perfect, but I wanted to shoot it, so I found another Sako deluxe stock from the same era and had it bedded and floated.

I couldn't find the bullets I wanted to shoot in it, but at a gun show I found 800 6.5 85 grain hollow points, so it went from a hunting gun to a varmint gun. Hollow points at 3700 fps make this a wicked PD gun...
