Product Description
Sako L61R Finnbear bolt-action rifle chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum . Serial number 12740 places this rifle among the earlier L61R production (Aprox. Late 63 Early 64 according to Google AI). The rifle exhibits the quality machining, deep polished blue finish and traditional wood stock for which vintage Finnish Sako rifles are highly regarded.
Bofors Steel: A rifle in this low serial number range almost certainly features the legendary "Bofors Steel" stamp on the right side of the barrel, denoting premium high-grade Swedish ordnance steel.
The rifle is equipped with a receiver-mounted adjustable rear peep sight and hooded front sight. The L61R Finnbear was Sako's long-action sporting rifle and was chambered for cartridges including the .300 Winchester Magnum.
