Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Sako .222's (Enlighten me)

This is a close-up of the Rihiimaki action. You can see the bolt and the workmanship that goes into producing this action. There is more machining in that bolt than there is in most guns. It has a cocking indicator built in and it has the roller safety on the top that actually blocks the firing pin rather than just an interrupting device that is found in many bolt actions.




The L46 and L461 actions are different, I don't have a picture of one of them, but they are very clean looking and functional to boot. The safety has been moved down onto the right side of the stock, still locking the trigger and the bolt.

The AI action is the later version which has a dust shroud covering the back of the bolt that the L461 doesn't have. Other than that the function is the same. The bottom rifle in this picture has the later "Stoeger" imported style of short action.
