I've got a similar gun, an L579 Sako Deluxe from 1968. I was told by it's previous owner that it was likely never fired. He inherited it from a guy who bought it in Germany. It's really nice,in near perfect condition with only a couple scuffs in the wood finish because that finish isn't as hard as it once was. i take it out and even hunt with it occasionally.I usually just carry it on easy hunts though. I don't drag it through swamps and through the roughest country I can find. I've got other rifles better suited for that purpose.
