I had a couple questions on the pad -

The original Sako recoil pads were soft and prone to deterioration. The ones I've had on all my older Sako's were flattened to varying degrees and/or cracked. The only replacement option was a look alike pad like a Pachmayr 325 until Beretta came out with the Model 85 Finnbear. They made a run of these pads that were used on the new Finnbears and the surplus pads were available from Brownells for a short time. The pad on this gun came from that run made by Beretta.

This is a beautiful forester, probably the nicest I’ve seen, and these things shoot tiny groups even with that 23” relatively light barrel. Mine has the black plastic buttplate and no engraving. I like mine, but I can’t stop looking at this one. Good luck to the seller and whoever buys this beauty

OH MY!

The older deluxe Sako rifles always get my blood pumping a little faster... Beautiful!!

...can't imagine finding a nicer one than this...

Thanks. It's the nicest one I've had. The fit and finish on the older Sako's is second to none IMO.

Very nice...Bump !

SOLD Pending Funds

I have a mint condition Sako L579 Forester Deluxe 243 Win Circa 1965 almost identical to this one in a beautiful Browning Lifetime brown leather case & I will take $2,125 for it. I inherited it from a wealthy oil man in Texas who knew and hunted with Juan Peron. It is also in mint condition (I will post photos). I don't hunt much anymore as I am getting old, so I would like to sell it. It also has a very nice scope. The man who owned this was very meticulous and kept everything he owned in perfect condition. I also have a .50AE Desert Eagle pistol (never fired) in polished chrome for sale in the original box that can be transformed into a .44 magnum by exchanging the barrel and magazine - amazing gun! I also have a beautiful Browning 12 gauge shotgun with two interchangeable barrels I will also be selling, owned by the same gentleman. I work in law enforcement in Houston and am trying to get my gun collection down to a manageable size.

You also appear to have no clue.
