Sakorick,

Do you know if SAKO ever bulit any rifles using FN actions? I know Browning used SAKOs for their short action calibers, but did it ever work the other way around?

Guy up here has a 300 H&H on an FN action. Barrel is clearly marked as such in the typical factory roll stamping, both the caliber and SAKO.

I am wondering if it is a SAKO barrel refitted to an FN by someone, or if SAKO built the rifle. Either way, it is very well done. Stock looks like a typical Browning Safari model, but is not the high gloss bowling ball finish they came with.

Hello Ted. No, it was the other way around. The Belgiques used the Sako actions. Very very nice firearms IMHO.....better than the Browning action that they were trying to modify from the Mod98. They should have just kept the basic mod98 bolt with the streamlined shroud like Parker Hale and been done with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Regards, Rick.

John Deere tractors and Sako rifles.....doesn't get any better.
