Question - Valmet/Sako History.

[dangertree]

A question, when did Sako buy Valmet? The FRT lists Sako as the manufacturer for my Valmet Hunter. I would guess the rifle was made about 1988.

I'm curious.

They merged in 1987:

Metso owns the Valmet trademark, and Beretta owns SAKO.

I wonder if the CFC would register a Valmet 6400 - after all they registered a Dewalt, didn't they.
