Can someone tell me the desirability of a pre '72 (pre Garcia ?) Sako Vixen ?
i understand its a short action .223 L461 serial # 1392xx its been offered to me with a vintage Leupold 1.5-5x scope for $850 i was told it has a bofors barrell... otherwise a clean 98+ it doesnt look shot up and abused. has a plastic buttplate. its a lovely rifle and im seriously considering it... a quick search on the gun auction sites turns up severel from NIB for 1200 to used for 750. anyone with a Sako serial number chart give me an approx year of manuf. ? any link to a sako chat board ?
bofors (sp) barrell desirability
my dad has a sweet sako Finnbear in .30-06 he bought new when he was about my age (about 1968) and ive put more rounds through it <50 in my life than he has ! he claims he doesnt like the stock... i think i need this little brother to it...
TIA
