Prior to Sako's development of the L61R action,they did use F.N. Mauser actions upon Factory rifles from 1950-57.
Had never heard a mention,to their having crafted 98 receivers and the above do jive nicely.
It was termed the Sako Magnum Mauser Rifle. All courtesy of de Haas ala Bolt Action Rifles(Revised Edition),pg 404.

Receiver is clean of markings. Barrel has some proof marks, SAKO, made in Finland, chambering. I've only got my CrackBerry on hand for photos, pretty poor picture taker. ![[Linked Image]](http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e218/kciH/IMG00011.jpg) Sandal comments unneeded!

Thanks for the info. It is, action wise, a near double to my FN Mauser in "ol boring"

Man feet are marginally acceptable in your own home. Now if you was visiting...
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

300H&H was mentioned as a chambering,less mention of the 300Winny...due "likely" to it being introduced 6yrs after Sako went to their own action.(grin)
Was thinking you'd mention 300Win Mag,for some reason?

I didn't really clarify when I was talking about "old enough" to have the s/n on the barrel and it being old enough to be marked ".300 Magnum" That would cause some considerable confusion nowadays.

That would have flown up until the release of the Ultra, no?
I hear great things about those rifles. The one in question here, no doubt the chambering helps, is smooooth. Empty cases chamber as smoothly as live rounds.

I see no flies on the 17Mach2, I love my cheapo NEF sportster in it. Kills blackbirds like a lazer of death.

I don't see any flies on it either, but folks seem to have stayed away in droves.

Have never seen a M98 Sako...do tell. Yes; Sako made rifles on M98 actions. Seen them.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
