    It's an epic little gun. Nope I got the bolt and the barrel fluted when I brought it a couple of years ago. It's like a bloody lazer

    Ok, you win this thread. Those TRG's are bloody nice, but I do contest that Sako forgot to include the trolley for the porters to drag the thing behind you...

    They are All bloody-heavy i reckon . My 6.5x55 AV weighs near 10lb with optilocs ,scope sling etc. I see 'CAC' has one identical on the yellow-site (my stock is darker/nicer! ) for 2.4k starting , bare-rifle only . I'm seriously-tempted to flute my barrel or trade it for a 222

    Hah. I was just about to type "I want that" and then saw your NOT FOR SALE notice at the bottom.

    Sako M-28 in 7.62X53R.
    You can't polish a turd but Sako can rebarrel one.

    Ken Henderson stock, not sure what it weighs, has skate board grip, needs replacing I like it. Previous own did it as carbon fibre is slippery when wet.

    Hi Bluebaiter222, #11 is marked a Vixen L461. It was interesting comparing the three sako's we had chasing sika last week, one was called a Vixen/Hunter apparently mean't for the american market but ended up here in some numbers. The V/H has a slimmer barrel and the cheek piece has more of a monte carlo roll to it, whereas my Vixen has a straighter comb. Lovely rifles to carry and use. I'll put another photo up of my Sako Finnbear 30-06 later on. here is the small 8 that charged in to a single call and was shot at about 6 m.Name:  IMGP0058.JPG
