Sako rifle pic. Show me some Sako pics. I have three. One 7 mag 65,000 range serial number. Two 264 Win mags with 26” barrels. One is a three digit, and the other is in the 2000’s.

I really like the old Sako’s. Sold my deluxe’s, I like these better.

I've only got one, this L579 .308 I inherited from my Dad when he passed away. It was his favorite rifle, its been carried/hunted plenty but I doubt its had more than 250 rounds through it. He bought it early in 1971, I have the tag for it showing it was inspected on 11-13-1970. It will have a new scope on it in about a week. I have a cow elk tag in his/our favorite elk hunting spot and plan on hunting with it so hope it brings me a bit of luck.

Beautiful rifles.

I have an AII in 308 Win that is my favorite rifle. Also have a Browning Safari built on a Sako action in 243. A tack driver but far too heavy for a 243. I inherited my father’s High Power this year that was his favorite. I’ll carry it this year.

So i have a couple AV's in .338, a .223 AI lightwt w/ 2x7 leupold. An AI .17 Rem hunter with iron sights and a leupold 4x14.5; An unfired m591 classic that I gave to my son for his 15 birthday. It's in .243 and wears a meoptra meopro in 3x12. I'll try and add pix of my AV M90 classic in 7mmRM and my AII's later. I'm addicted.

7STW - have a SAKO L461 in .223 Rem that was purchased in mid-70's. Looks a lot like the second one from the bottom. First rifle owned that would group MOA or better.
Had some stock finish issues early on but nothing a refinish job couldn't cure. Have fun shooting it against a much newer Savage M10HB - each has its own merits.

The new ones are far better. While more expensive, they're just as accurate and weigh less. There were some exceptions. For example early Sakos with FN Supreme actions in .375H&H were very nice light rifles.

Europtic has a new one in 338 Fed I'd really like. But at $2500+ it's hard to justify.

That is a nice looking rifle. I could like one of those in 9.3X62 or 375 H&H.
