I have owned 2 of those, although mine were L579 Forester's.(sp) There was no such thing as Garcia's in Oz. Great rifles and very accurate. John

Me? Yes, I think I did, including the old Leupold M8 16X that turned out to be a great scope but awfully skinny cross hairs.Another pic...

Very nice! Good thing I'm a lefty gunny. There are too many very nice right handed rifles in the world.

I have another pregarcia sako .243. It was bought in thailand at a AFB in the 60's. I put a cheap azz 50dollar scope on it. Each year i take it out and shoot it at least once. In at least the last 15years it has never varied in putting them in a dime. They are good rifles.

They used sights back then, a peep on the rear bridge...

How functional is the peepers?
Never tried one, but the system is supposed to be a QD type with return to zero (if using the original Sako rings).
