You've got good taste geedubya. I always like your Sako pics. You just don't stumble across the older ones in my neck of the woods.
I've been most fortunate in that I've had a number of Sakos follow me home...............
Circa 1955 vintage Sako Riihimaki, 222 Rem. My go to Turkey-gittter.
Sako 75 Hunter I purchased from Handwerk that started life out as a 30-06 Springfield, which he had bored to 9.3 x 62.
Sako L461 Vixen in the heavy barrel Varmint config., 222 Rem.
one of my first and favorite Sakos, an L61R "varmint" in 7 mag.
a Custom AIII in 7mm-08, smithed by IT&D Custom Guns on the bottom and a 222 Rem Mag on top!
ya!
