Anyone a fan of sako L61r

Recently got kinda hooked on these. Top ones a 30/06 with newer leopold
Middle ones a 375 h&h with a older leopold
Bottom One is a 7mm rem mag with a old red field
Can’t beleive the craftsmanship and smooth buttery actions and beautiful wood for 50 plus year old hunting rifles.

Would like to get a l579 in .308. found one with original iron sights but my bank account is saying No!!! But !!!

I try to buy ones that look like they haven’t been used to much, but if I really like it and need a new barrel so be it. These old Finnish barrels seems to last a lifetime or two if Maintence is done or so I’m told. Now if it was a 300 win mag that might be a different story.

That's refreshing to hear! I wonder how long my tikka 308 will last. It's hard as fuck to find a gunsmith around here, and the barrel itself costs half the price of the gun

I think if you don’t get it smoking hot continuously it’ll last the average shooter a life time

Fuck yes
