The Valmet was a popular model in Europe and also in America and it slowly evolved from the 412 to the 412S and then was bought out by Tikka rifle works with Sako in control and then became the Tikka 512 model. Finally, when production went to Italy it was part of the Finnclassic range.
Anyone with a Tikka 512 was made by Tikka.
The 412 was a nicer version of the 412S. It had better wood and a different stock configuration. Inside they were the same gun. The 512 guns were made in Italy by Marocchi on SAKO tooling. I took a 512 set to Tanzania. It was 12/9.3X74R and 9.3X74R O/U. Each set had a low power variable scope.
