Otherwise I really don't know diddly about it. So so far, Finn rifles have treated me very well, thats why I'm taking a second look at it. Then I found a Finn marked M96 Swede with no import marks that can just about put 140gr SSTs on top of each other.

I do have a new Sako 6.5 Swede thats is a doll of a rifle, that my dad adopted once he shot it & an M39 Finn Mosin that my bro adopted that shoots heavy ball surplus very well. Though I'm a big fan of peep sights so it kinda jumped out at me. I thought it was a funny combination, a heavy barreled target looking rifle with peep sights. All I know is it appears to be a very well made rifle & even though I'm a young guy, old wood & blue speaks to me. Honestly I never even knew what it was when he handed it to me & at the time I was eyeballing the Garand he had on the wall. I have always heard good things about them though. He's got dies & brass too, which is good cause I've never owned a 222. How high is a little high? I'm trying to get him down to 12 for the whole package. Chequering is still sharp and crisp and only absolute minimal blemishes anywhere. It also features some Nice Cross Grain Highlights but the darker finish hides these a little unless you look. The Walnut Stock has a Good Strong Straight Grain and the usual Raised Cheek Piece plus Palm Swell Grip.

Up until 1960, Sakos with L-46 actions were simply called the Sako Varmint Rifle in my editions of Gun Digest, but beginning in 1961 it was called the Sako Vixen, and the name was continued for the L-461 actioned rifles. Any shot that does not hit home and its highly likely to be whoever is squeezing the trigger. Both the L-461 and L-579 had fixed, staggered column magazines and hinged floorplates. The link below details a Twist Rate at 1 in 8 so should be good for any and all bullet weights ANYONE might wish!Īpart from anything if you put a rifle like this on target its not likely to move. You will find that the Sako Quad is no ordinary rimfire, it is a small bore hunting and training firearm that functions as its own system, complete with several options to choose between. 223 Sako.įull length 23 ¾” (603mm) Heavy / Varmint / Target weight barrel. The Sako Quad Varmint is an excellent choice for hunting and bench-rest target shooting with its flat-bottomed extra wide fore-end and heavier barrel.
