G'day
I have a L 61R serial number 79506 in 375h&h I have been told it may have been made for the H&R contracts , a couple of Sako collectors have looked it over and agree it is an oddball and worth some research. The biggest difference from other L61R,s is that the front of the receiver is round ( no dovetails ) and the rear part of the receiver is flat . I have had mounts made for it to fit a 1x5 Leopold scope. Has anyone seen one like this before , I am thinking this could be a prototype or some custom gunsmith putting his spin on the action.
Regards Richard
