Acquired this L61R Deluxe, .270 last year, another military return w/ no importer mark and the Euro style sterling silver grip cap; a bit of extra bling and it shoots.

I believe this is a '68 223 bofors steel Vixen. Serial no. 767XX. My Dad bought this in the early '70s.
First Rifle I used to deer hunt with.
was used as payment for dairy debts in the later '70s. I bought it back and redid the stock and bedding. I need to get a front sight. any help with this would be appreciated.

One that I kept: 1968 Bofors carbine in .308 with a Black Bear that my son shot the other day. My wife used it on her first buck and we have killed a bunch of deer and hogs with it. Great woods rifle.

I looked for one after I used to read John Wooters' articles in Petersens Hunting magazine. He posed with one a few times, and I had to get one. RIP John W.

Sakoluvr,

I remember the John Wooters' pic's and stories from the '80s. with the 308 carbine.
Seems like he was always mentioning a Win. 88 in 308 he had sold, even calling out the serial number in one article in hope of buying it back.

Fantastic thread by the way. Really enjoying the great pics of Sakos!

Now that the big boys have had their glossy fun, let the killers have some quarter.

.221 Fireball, set back and rechambered from that bastard of a cartridge, the 222 magnum. That "magnum" is one sorry fit for that tiny little Sako action, and should be shunned by knowledgeable rifleman everywhere. The Fireball, is perfection in design and function, for a lightweight calling rifle. On the plus side of the ledger, with the faster powders, it doesn't singe hair on the close call-ins like the bigger-uns. wink grin

I call this one, "Properly Incentivized and Managed Range Dogs"

You got so close I think you could have thrown down your rifle and choked him with your belt.

I'm with you Poobs, always a good idea to keep a spare rifle strapped to the headache rack.

One of you Sako guys may be interested in this one. I'm not the seller or affiliated, but thought it was a great deal on a great stock:
