The 7 x 33 Deluxe is in my safe now.
Always keen to learn more about these rifles.The 7 x 33 Deluxe was purchased in July of 2013 from a guy in Pennsylvania. He made no mention of the former owner. I could contact him for more information.
I too thought it was fake, however the seller offered a three day inspection. So . . . I was out only the shipping . . . if it was a dog.
Upon hands on inspection . . . she was a keeper at the price I paid.
I do remember a photo of Jim Lutes with over 100 Sako's in the backround in one of the Sako news letters. A few L46 Deluxe's may be in the back round.
Rick, could you post some photos of that stock? I can't quite follow whether it is for an L46 or L461, but it sounds very interesting.I also have a sako vixen deluxe stock . . . no barrel or action, with the rosewood slanting in the opposite direction . . . however it has the fire red dot and area cut out for the new bolt safety. Where the stock on the 7 x 33 Deluxe does not have the fire red dot or the area cut out for the thumb safety.
I'm not sure that anyone knows. The serial numbers appear to have been intermingled with L461's coming off of the line contemporaneously.Again.....how many rifles were built on this second run?
I have a bunch of L46s, but none from the second run.
