One nice rifle, that's what you have.

Seriously, not too up on older models, I'm guessing a L691 super deluxe??
What's it chambered in?

 

[mbogo3]

Says Finbear on it 7mm magnum.

Looks like a L61 R then. Finnbear, and I'm pretty sure that is the super deluxe stock. The regular deluxe stock has a rounded nose, the supers have the squared nose like yours.
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Nice rifle, did you buy it, or inherit, or ??

That would be a Finnbear Deluxe. This is my AIII Deluxe in .270. The super deluxe has an even fancier stock, oak leaves in the checkering

That is an L61R Finnbear Delux Magnum. The rounded forends didn't happen until the "A" series started. Very nice rifle Harold !!

Yup a L61R deluxe, my 06 has the square forend tip but no engraving on the floor plate. I'm jealous except for the chambering.

Nice fiddleback on that one. My buddy has the same model in 30-06. He has many rifles, but the Sako is the one he takes out when it counts.

It's not engraving unfortunately and is the only feature which cheapens this rifle, it's painted on with silver paint. I've had several and have detested this one feature on all of them !!
