Yes, I have used the "peep" sights (there are several different versions of them) on my L46 in 222 Rem., on two L579's in 308WCF and a L61R in 30-06.

I still have several of the "peep" sights in my gunbox gathering dust.

A 338 Win Mag. Very early rifle, serial number 8. Sako boys say they weren’t made in order.

Rather nasty morning out, so what the hey!

My taste in rifles has evolved over the last half century, but Sako's were my first luv'.

Walked into the LGS many years ago when I first started collecting Sako's.

BAMMO, there it was!

At that time I was financially embarrassed and had to put this on lay-away.

[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

Paid it out @ $25 per week, IIRC.

Even then many of the Sako's I encountered in my circuit of Pawn Shops and LGS's looked like thy had been in battle, or were stocked with "sapwood".

Not this one. It was pristine.
