There’s a Sako collectors club forum that can really break it down for you in even more detail. Amazing craftsmanship for a “factory” rifle. We’re not dead. We just smell that way. Dayum. - AC870 Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

It's the most accurate centerfire rifle I've ever fired. I don't know why it shoots so well , it just does. "Why do you ask"? Always vote the slowest path to socialism.

EDIT: Looks like mine was made around 1958 or 59. https://sakocollectors.com/forum/th...question-about-date-of-manufacture.8969/ Last edited by BowtechDan; 05/15/23 11:29 AM.
