I don’t know, made by Sako??

The Golden Bear is a L61R clone.


“Soon after Howa releasing the Howa M300, the company began working on a new type of a hunting rifle in order to meet the demand for large-caliber bolt-action rifles in Japan. During the development, the designers used the Finnish SAKO L61R "Finnbear" as basis of the design.”
