A very nice and unique Sako

[RobP]

A very nice Sako (pre-72 in 243 win) - all original and only other one I saw was for sale in Finland. Been fooling around at the range with a bit and it keeps those 243 bullets nice and tight. Prior to the late 1970s, biathlon was primarily a military sport and centre fire rifles were used (243, 308 and 30-06 being the most common). Note the stripper clip slot in the rear bridge. A link to an image of the on in Finland is at the bottom of this post.
