[jcbruno]

hi i was just wondering if anyone on here is familure withe the finnish rimfires
we all know the awesome sako finnfire turned into the sako quad which well i dont think is as popular, but for comp rifles there was the valmet and finnish lion in a recent book it claims the finnish lion 22lr match rifles are still in production? can anyone claim this to be true and are finnish lion rifles made by Sako?

Hi there,

Finnish Lion is not in production. It was indeed made by Valmet which was later merged with other companies. Sako quad is the only .22 in production.

I has a finnish Lion years ago and it was a unbeatable rifle.
I keep selling selling off the good stuff

I have a Finnish Lion ISU rifle that I use for shooting gophers. My primary complaint with it was how heavy it was. I ended up cutting the barrel down and hogging out the interior of the stock. It is still heavier than the equivalent Anshutz but the rifle shoots amazingly well.

It is a right handed action in a left handed stock which is kind of a weird combination.
