About LinkBacksMy latest acquisition on trial. Something different, a Sako finnwolf lever action in .243 topped with a Zeiss 3-9
Not sure if I'm 100% happy with it yet or not, but will rack a few shots through it tomorrow and then take it for a look for a deer in the evening. See how it goes.

I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

Yeah that's what I was hoping, but it's quite long eh. Could do with 3-4 inches lopped off the barrel. It is 40 odd years old though... Originally Posted by Neckshot

A few months ago I read that lever action Sako's are extremely rare and worth a large amount of money. It might pay to get it valued properly before you modify it. Originally Posted by JoshC
