Thread: SAKO VIXEN L461 for sale

If something’s too pretty to use, what’s it good for? Who are we saving them for?

I'll be chucking a McMillan stock on the Sako as she'll be used as a workhorse in the bush, and unlike an oiled finish, lacquer is a bit harder to fix up. But the wood stock will be used on the range and for small game. So no safe queens.

As for rust - 5 minutes at the end of each hunting day will prevent that.

If I could afford an H&H or Rigby I'd still take it out hunting. That's what guns are meant for. Unless it's something super rare which should be kept in a museum collection.
