Does this rifle exist?

Ohhhh that's a cool rifle, don't think I've ever seen one of these anywhere. Sako L61R Finnbear, how difficult would it be to find one of these in 30-06?

Lots of older Zastavas around. The only problem is that the ones with a stripper clip do not usually come with a hinged floorplate, while the ones that do are built on a commercial action, which does not have provision for a stripper clip.
Bolt Action in common 30-06, .270, 8mm
- 24" barrel with open sights, 5 round hinged floor plate magazine with possibly stripper clip loading
Walnut stock without Monte Carlo, usually the European hump-back style.

Pick up a military conversion, add a modern stock, add new bottom metal with a hinge. My old HVA comertial Mauser has a hinged floor plate, but the receiver is not cut for stripper clips. Rear sight is just a blade. Maybe an M96? Have you looked at intersurplus? This one has everything but the tangent sight: https://intersurplus.com/collections/8x57/products/walther-m98-in-8x57is-1 ; this one, unfortunately has a monticarlo stock, and removable floor plate, not hinged; it does have tangent sight and receiver is cut for stripper clips.

They have some older Sako rifles with tangent sights, but not with straight comb or stripper clip cut.

Intersurplus has a few, most have had the rear sight removed from the housing. Again, not cut for strippers and Monticarlo stock. Great rifles; I would settle for one.
