Got my hands on the Golden Anniversary Sako I bought in the classifieds today. Made in 72, unfired, not a mark on it, wanted one for 50 years. I never thought i would own one. Shrap probably has a half dozen.

Thanks Michael

Beautiful! Congrats!

shoot it!

Proper retirement gift there hanco.

Very nice. Looks like the upper grade Husqvarnas of that period.

Are you going to hunt and shoot with it or lock it away in a hermetically sealed, mission impossible display case?

That’s a great looking rifle - glad you got it and hope you “bloody” it - it deserves it!!

That's a beauty Hanko.

Need some engraved mounts for it, have a gloss 3.5x10 Leupold I could mount

Hunt with it, that is what it was built for!!

Good man! I’m either a collectors best friend or his worst enemy. I shoot anything I own.
For one thing I remove another pristine example from the pool, making the few unsullied ones more valuable.
Or I’m ruining a specimen from the virgin field and I’m a heathen for it.

I watched the guy hand carve this Anniversary model at his desk when I was in Finland in '83 on a plant tour and moose hunt. Trying to remember how many were allocated to be built.... umm 100 as I recall. I'll try and dig out the pics ...took lots of pics on that trip, but with all the problems we are having in getting pics posted dunno if I make that happen.

Beautiful! I know its not for everyone, but I like the "European" style oak leaf carvings.

That's a beauty hanco, enjoy!

Man that is a beautiful gun!

Shes a beaut clark

Have owned three Sakos and all were simply great rifles. Very nice!

The only thing I didn’t like on the anniversary model was the grip cap. Otherwise stunning figure on that rifle!

That’s a great find! Congrats

Wow! That’s a beauty!!

Wow, gorgeous!

Hanco, what model of rifle is that?

L-61.

She’s a beauty Hanco! The more I look at the oak leaves, the more I like them…considering my old eyes thought they were blemishes or some other weird discoloring at first!!!! 🙈 Very nice rifle sir! Congrats!
