You done good! I love Sako’s! I like the L-61’s, earlier the better. I have a Sako 338 also. Serial number is two digit, possibly made the first day in 1961

It's a Sako AV(magnum length) that were coming out in the early 80's. The next step was the 75. They are seriously robust and people can confuse them with a CRF with the guide rib they have.

The caliber is engraved in cursive across the front receiver ring, pretty cool.
