Up for sale is an extraordinary, highly coveted big-game rifle: an authentic Sako AV Mannlicher (Full Stock) chambered in the venerable .375 H&H Magnum. Precision-crafted in Riihimaki, Finland and imported to the United States by Stoeger Inc., this rifle pairs old-world European styling with devastating dangerous-game performance.
Built on the legendary smooth and ultra-strong Sako AV magnum action, this rifle features a gorgeous full-length European walnut stock with a Bavarian hogback cheekpiece, dual recoil crossbolts, blued steel nose cap, and integral barrel band.
Mounted in vintage gloss steel rings is a premium gloss-finish Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x Adjustable Objective (AO) rifle scope, matching the rifle's deep factory high-polish bluing perfectly. Complete with an authentic Williams adjustable rear sight ramp and a padded suede shooting sling, this is a turnkey safari-grade heirloom.
