Archie, I like those Greywolf, had one in model 75. Nice stock but it was too heavy for what I wanted.

This doesn't really qualify as a real Sako but here it is on a tailgate....grin

Here is one of several that I have. 6mm TCU with a Hart barrel and a stock I carved out of a remnant of a blank that another guy had.

DINK- those are some nice Socko/Sacko/Sayko/Sako's!

I love mine.

I a few Sakos, a AV Laminate in 7 mm mag, a TRG-S in 7X64, a 75 Finnlight in 6.5X55, a 75 in 25-06, but I only have a photo of my AV 375 H&H.

My 85 Finnlight in 300 WSM wrapped in a McMillan Edge painted light gray has yet to register a kill but it is sitting dead on ready !

Sako 75 Hunter LH in .25-06. Also has a large Reflex moderator on it these days to civilise the bark from the short barrel.

used to have a few of them, down to just this one now. Custom 75 SS in .260 rem, EGDE stock.

Only own one and it will be with to the end. I don't know what model it is. (I think AV) bought in about 1985. New cartridge then, 7MM-08.

Thanks Archie and JGRaider.

When I bought my 300 ultra I thought I would only buy one more Sako in 30-06. To this day I have never owned one in 30-06. Oh well guess I will keep buying until I find one in 30-06..

OK, ya'll need a couple from the Golden Age of Sako superiority...

L-461, set up as a bench rest only gopher shooter. 1 in 14 twist Lilja 3 groove, 223. Walnut and Rosewood, Loopy LRS 6.5-20 30mm tube.

Here is my walking around / calling varnint rifle. 50's era Sako Riihimaki 222 with custom stock incl Niedner style metalwork, wraparound 22lpi checkering, Loopy 4.5-14x40 Gloss finish scope.

I just LOVE me these small, correct for the cartridge size, older Sako's. Add in some semi fancy wood and I am in Varmint shooting nirvannah. Oh and yes, these two DO get taken out and hunted, a LOT. In fact they are my two most used and hunted with rifles by a long measure.

This one (the riihimaki above) knows how to get ahead! - rockchuck head, in this case below. That is all said Rockchuck showed me, 125 yards away.

The bench gun will shoot 36gr Varmint Grenades into the .3's with no load development work done by me and the Riihimaki 222 plants Moly'ed 50gr TNT's into the .4's when I do my part. Accurate rifles do NOT have to be plasicized ugly

OMG !! And, I have a hard enough time choosing between my Wby UL 280 & Sako 85 Finnlight 300 WSM.

Dink, you have a problem, but I don't think it needs a cure. Very nice collection and some cool classic models posted thus far. I started with Tikka (poor man's sako) and was impressed enough with function and accuracy that I stepped up to a Sako Grey Wolf 75 in 7mm-08 and this 85 SS 260 bedded in a Kevlar stock.

Im diggin that stock, what is it?

Just got in from a long day pheasant hunting, saw the thread and decided to post a few pics...

My Sako AV i bought for pretty cheap at Cabelas....getting a 26" barrel and McMillan stock. 22" barrel on a 7mm RM didn't do it for me.

sako forester 22-250 with leupold 24x fine crosshair/dot

(fuzzy phone pic, ikts cherry clean)

Thanks for posting. I am very fond of the older sakos with the lovely blond wood, and the manlicher stocked carbines. GRF

Beautiful rifles! I've been wanting a nice Sako ever since I ran across a 75 Deluxe many years ago. I'm real close to pulling the trigger on a Sako Bavarian carbine. I'm thinking .308Win.
[Linked Image]

I just need to sell a few that don't excite me anymore.

Sako Smackdown on the daily double Saturday morning. Cleaning out some South Alabama vermin,including my biggest pig by far.
Model 75 Hunter Stainless, .270win,Swarovski 4-12x50AV, shooting Barnes VORTX 130gr TTSX. My most dependable rifle.

[Linked Image]

I love that wood/stainless combo. Nice work on the vermin too.

Very nice rifles! Any insight on older Sako values..models and such? Would love to read up on them and have a better clue what is what.

Another A7 .270 Win

Can't find the pictures but had a Mannlicher carbine .243, a Finnlite .30-06 and a NIB Finnwolf .243 that I traded a BLR for.... BIG GRIN!
