It is not. Has the FI stamp on the bottom of the barrel. Heavier barrel contour. A beast of a rifle.Is number 2 Bofors marked?
...........Sako Model L61R serial number 12490 is in caliber .375 H&H and is a Deluxe model. It was Inspected 27 September 1967. It was booked for shipping in lot #39436 on 9 April 1969 to Firearms International as one of four similar rifles in that shipment.
WOW Ksmith ! You just got my attention. I only own 2 Deluxe L61R's made prior to 1972 that are not stamped Bofors and they are 25-06 and 375. I have been trying for 35+ years to buy a Bofors marked Deluxe 375. And you're telling me that you've seen a shipping lot (39436) that has 4 Deluxe 375's, and one of those was inspected in September 1967. With that early of an inspection date it should have the lighter contour barrel with the 0.600" diameter muzzle, rather than the 0.650" muzzle found on the 1969 and later rifles when Sako beefed up the the barrel and stock. Do the other 3 Deluxe 375's on the shipping log have a early serial number close to serial number 12490? Please share more info regarding the 375's if you can.
