Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Lets see some Sako's

There are 2 Sakos posted here I would like to add to my own collection. That 243 is really a nice example of that era of Sako Deluxes. The second is that 300.

I just ordered a Pre-Garcia Bofors, Mannlicher in 222 mag in 98% condition. It wasn't cheap but will almost round out a complete set of 222 mags.

For the sake of an offer, I do have a nice Pre-Garcia Bofors Deluxe in 264 Win Mag that I would trade for that 300 H&H. It is a nice gun with 2 Deluxe stocks...




The prize of my modest Sako collection is this 95% condition 1969 Pre-Garcia L61R Finnbear Deluxe in 300H&H w/ original peep. I stopped by a gun show on my way back from making a killer deal on a Weatherby MK V with a couple of 44mag handguns to try to trade for something. Came across this gun in a booth and continued to wander around and realized what I had seen. Went back and the guy with the gun was the past president of the now defunct Sako Collectors Association and it was his personal custom ordered gun with his initial in the sterling silver grip; same as mine. Had to have it.
