If you are referring to a special run of synthetic stocked .375h&h sako rifles that had a silver colored coating over the entire barreled action and were magnaported,I owned one for a few years.I was told that the guns were not made that way by sako but rather a dealer simply had a batch made up.I bought mine at a gunshow in the 90's if I remember correctly.

from what i was told.they had a grizzly bear engraved on the floorplates.and were black composite stocks with stainless barrels.?

That is the one that I owned.The barreled actions were not actually stainless but had a silver colored coating on them to resist corrosion.The fellow that I bought mine from in Saskatoon had quite a few of them at the gunshow.The rifles were actually quite light and even with the magnaporting recoil was stiff.

Those rifles were made by Kerry Higgins owner of the Saskatoon Gunsmith Shop.
