Sako Rifle
 

I just found a pretty nice Sako L61R Finbear serial # 5176 in 3006. It has been hunted,but looks pretty clean. Asking price is $500.00. What do you guys think? It seems like a good deal to me.

The older Sako models are my favorites. This is a reasonable price for this model.

Buy it! I've got 2, one in .243 and the other in 30-06, and I wouldn't take 2 or 3 times that much for either of them!!! The .243 in particular is a tack driver!

Sako Finbear, "pretty clean" for $500 is a steal !

+1 buy it !!!

If I were interested and it fit me I wouldn't think twice. Good deal on a great action/rifle.

I would check the rifling and the crown.

Thanks for the input. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow!

Got it!nFinally my forst Sako...

Congratulations !

I hope you got a shooter.

Now it's time for a "deep"cleaning.

Good luck at the range !!!

Yeah, that was a good price. I don't see many of the old Sakos out there in good condition at a good price which should tell you something. I have a Sako L691 in 300 WBY which would be the last gun that I would give up. I would love to find an L591 in 30-06 or 270.

I have been told they are like candy. It is hard to stop with just one! You are right about the deep cleaning Sheridan. Seventeen blue patches and counting,but I already love this gun! Next for the Conquest scope!

sako M75
 

Any thoughts on the M75 i don't see much info on it? I saw one new for sale for $800........

How does it differer between the models before or the M85?

you might want to try the Sako collectors sight. They have a lot of information.

Isn't the L591 a short action? ie: 308, 243, 22-250?

Yeah, you are right. I would have to get an L691 like I already have to get a long action for 30-06.

the candy comment is right i bought one 10 years ago now i have 15 and want more i love them chad

I have a Sako Finnbear in 30-06 and love it. Awesome trigger, action is like silk over glass. It's plenty accurate and balanced perfectly. Fit and finish is great.

The only negative you could find is that it's heavy.
