So I have found this rifle in a local gunshop, but is it worth $1,300 (Aus)? I know this question usually gets the "it is worth what someone wants to pay for it" answer. Through following SCC I have a reasonable idea on what this might fetch in the U.S. but no idea of how the asking price rates in the Australian market. Deersako, Top gear??
I am no expert on Sakos, but isn't this stock style more like the later L461s? It had a number of small marks/compression dents but no serious dings. There was some slight dark streaks through the timber
As you can see it has a front sight, but I didn't notice any rear sight on the barrel - is this unusual? Boots steel marking on the barrel.
The boltface looked good - used, but not pitted. The bore was a little too dirty to clearly see whether there were any pits or erosion.
Magazine floor plate marked with "Cal .222" - this means it is an original magazine?
Rings look to be Leupold, and I think it was a VX II 3.5-10x40 AO scope.
Serial number 525xx
