I have two Sakos, A1 & AII, in the singleshot configuration, with target triggers.
I belive the previous owner bought the actions new, in 89-91 and made benchrest rifles out of them. They are currently chambered in 223 & 22-250.
I can count on one hand, the times I have heard or seen similar actions in this configuration on the net..
Most have a "inserts in mag well" instead of true solid bottoms.
Triggers are in the 3-5 oz range..

Still prefer the newer 3 lug guns. Not as polished but I like them better otherwise. Also prefer the newer oil finished stocks to the shiny.

I started this thread several years ago and to my surprise, here it is again! I still look for Sakos from time to time but haven't found the one yet.
One thing I have noticed is that Sakos are relatively expensive these days; much more so than in the past. I am talking about new models. They sure are proud of those Model 85s. Of course, all guns have shot up in price over the last couple of years.

Always had a thing for the Firearms International Sako's (pre Garcia/1972 guns), especially the Mannlichers. The L461 'Vixens' from this era are perfection....

I'm sure there are sako aficionados on the 'fire who may know the details. You may want to check out these guys, who have been hugely helpful to me in the past. http://www.sakocollectors.com/There is where I would head. Tremendous Knowledge base and they are polite.

Beautiful rifle GWB, what are you loading for it? I have a 280 now, a Kimber BGR. It shoots 120 Barnes very well.

Accubonds or Ballistic tips pretty much across the 7mm spectrum. I've had several rifles chambered for the 280 Rem. The 162 Gr. ELD-X is what I am shooting in this rifle. ya! GWB

I know where a L61R Finnbear 264 Win is for sale. I know nothing about Sako’s except what a friend bought in Germany when he was in the army. This rifle looks very good condition with some blueing loss near the muzzle. Would this be worth more than $1,000???
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

This rifle looks very good condition with some blueing loss near the muzzle. Would this be worth more than $1,000??? Without seeing pix or "hands on" it is hard to say. I personally am not a fan of the 264 Win Mag, so unless it was a Deluxe, with good wood, pad, unmolested, no iron sights, I would not pay $1K. I'd prefer to be in it @ $850 or less. Your mileage may vary. Just Sayin! GWB
