Another project...that is not gonna happen. 22+" BBL. Mannlicher stocked L 579 chambered in .308. This is the only long BBL. Mannlicher Sako I have seen. Most are 20". I have more than a few of these . This one has a cracked and repaired wrist, as a number of these Mannlichers seem to have. Sako did not provide a crossbolt in the Mannlichers. Rifle has Timney trigger, leupold 1" rings, Sako Peep. Peep has been opened up to 0.150. Nice clean BBL'ed . action , repaired stock. $ 1050.00 shipped to FFL in lower 48. PM for more pix/ info.

I'd bet that the long barrel makes for better than average balance.

pretty decent drool factor on that one.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Good night and thank you all for your patience.

The barrel length on this rifle is common. Most all of the older Sako Mannlicher's had the longer barrels like this one. It's rare to find the old ones with a 20 inch barrel. The later Sako's, most all are 20".
