It's not a pre Garcia. Hard to tell with sako serial numbers but you probably have a Garcia or early stoeger sako. Still a quality rifle. I've seen these sell locally from 650-750. They don't bring quite as much as a bofors steel marked sako although the quality should be just as good. There are some good examples of a pre Garcia on the sako collectors website. Your checkering, stock, and serial # does not match that era. The bolt would be a 3 lug instead of the 2 lug of the Garcia era.
This!
