@Barry the hunter.Sorry ol Pal,but you seem to have your Sako models up the boo eye.From 1946 they released their first model in the Vixen family .Called the L46.Stamped Vixen.Production run to mid 50's.The next child in the Vixen family was the L461.Stamped Vixen.Production run to late 70's.80's upgrade to the A One in OP #1.Not stamped Vixen,but still colloquially referred to as Vixen(i.e. short action).And then Beretta started playing in the sand pit and it went down hill.
In parallel development on the same time line was Sako's medium action and long action series.
The medium Forester transitioned
from L576 to A Two( roman numerals).
And finally the Long action L61 big brother Finnbear became the A Five.
Think your memory is playing tricks on you.Because the slag heap goaties would never of had an AV trebly or .223.
