Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What can you tell me about the Sako L691 rifles?

Hope you let us know how it shoots for you, I bet it shoots well quickly based on my experience with them.

Maybe to you but not to me. If I was to analogise a rifle with Rolex it would be the pre-64 M70.
OK but rather common and way overrated, but that doesn't stop people thinking its a status symbol in the gun world
" its a pre64 you know early SN xxxxxx " ...chuckle.

Three AV's, one M591, two A7's with a third one on the way.

I've had a couple of AV's, an AIII, and a couple of L61R's.

Only complaint I ever had was they were plenty heavy.

An AV in a classic stock is about as good as it gets.

Well it arrived today and what a nice rifle. The quality is second to none...beautiful wood, metal and a smooooth action. Ordered up some Optilok ringmounts for it and scope is waiting to go on it!

I'm looking at a magnum left hand mountain Eagle right now that is sitting in an HS precision stock. so this means that the seperate recoil lug is a non issue? I was not aware the HS stocks came with a bedded block? Can someone Explain?

You can’t beat a Sako, love them

Correct, the extra bedding block is not needed.

The stock has an aluminum bedding block and part of it replaces the floating block.

I had a bunch of Firearms International L691 Finnbear’s, beautiful guns, but they’re pretty heavy.

I've had all of those too & all were great rifles.

A 270 AV in a McM stock bought new in the mid '80's was my go-to rifle for 15 years; still have it. still shoots extremely well, just heavy as you say.

Wish I still had the L-61R Deluxe in 338 Win though.

Sako's are all very accurate rifles; never seen a bad one.

Never go wrong with one if you want a solid work rifle.

The MRI L691's are great rifles. Excellent trigger and Kreiger barrels. Mine was in 300win. It was pretty heavy with no alternative stocks. So I sold it. But I do regret it now. I should've just had Kampfeld take a whack at it!
