Up for sale is a Sako AIII Deluxe in 308 Winchester. The previous owner cut the barrel down to 18.5" so it's a shooter. I bought the rifle years ago thinking I would have it re-bored or re-barreled to 358 Win. but never happened. The crown is a little sloppy but the rifle shoots just fine as is. Trigger breaks clean at around 4.5lbs.
The rifle retains about 98% of its original, high luster blueing. The stock shows minor handling marks and finish appears to be fading/thinning around the butt. Overall the rifle is in good to excellent condition. Includes the pictured rings.
The rifle has lost it's collectors value but that doesn't keep it from being a high quality, well built, beautiful rifle/carbine. $735 shipped/insured
