I’m looking for a left hand Sako for deer and black bear hunting. Currently have a lh Tikka that I really like and would like to have a Sako as well. Shoot me a pm if you have one you are willing to part with. Thanks

They pop up on guns international
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

There's several Sako AV's on the GB. Hope you have deep pockets.

Thanks, I also saw those. Two have been listed for over a month, possibly two. Priced well beyond the market IMO. GB pricing has seemed to be very high…fees, taxes, etc. Prefer dealing with people who have shared interest rather than making a fast buck.

Sako ClassicIn the prevailing market, this one is priced reasonably, IMO. Best LH Sako ever.

Thanks. Looks good except the previous owner put a muzzle brake on it. Deal breaker for me. I like rifles that are factory standard.

Have the brake removed and recrowned. I also don’t like muzzle brakes, I value my hearing. Sako’s usually have 23 1/2” barrels, plenty to work with.

Factory barrel length on the old AV is all over the place. I have the identical rifle to the one in the link. The barrel is 24" even, but I've likewise seen them at 23-1/2" and owned another in .338 that had a 22-1/2" barrel.
