Did Sako make a Vixen L461 with a fluted barrel? If they did. Is it a rare? I know Sako has fluted barrels on newer rifles, but I’ve never seen one on older Vixens. Thanks.

That’s what I thought too. But, I was looking at a 1970’s vixen with a legit Finland Sako barrel with original flutes. Owner said it was a rare Sako. I couldn’t find anything on the internet about Sako making an early Vixen model with fluted barrel. The mystery continues....I think fluted barrels came into fashion after vixen’s had stopped being manufactured.

Yeah, I hear you. I have a Sako AV in 7mm Rem mag and it was assembled by Gregg Warren in Oregon at Kimber of Oregon.
Sounds like a beautiful rifle you have. Since I’ve lived in Oregon most of my life. I’ve seen several fine Kimber of Oregon rifles over the years. I should have bought one years ago. Now, I’m always on the look out for that one special SuperAmerica 22 LR at the right price, under $2k...
