Is it possible for someone to give me some details on my Sako. Barrel is stamped L61R, serial number# 83067. I am pretty confused by now after reading numerous post about pre-garcia, 3 lug bolts, etc... I purchased the rifle while stationed in Germany in the time frame of 74-76 and got it the rod & gun club they had on base at Ramstein AFB. Don't know how long they had it before I purchased it but it was definetly brand new when I bought it. Never really thought anymore about the rifle till I started reading these forums, now I am all confused. As far as I was concerned when I bought the rifle it was stated as a "Sako Finnbear Deluxe 25-06 with checkering & rose wood forward" Can someone give me some insight into what I actually have by my serial #. I am contemplating selling it since I have not shot it since the late seventies, maybe a box & 1/2 thru the rifle since new. I don't have the slightest idea of what I really have and what it is worth as far as trying to sell it. I also had a Redfield 4x12 scope put on it when I originally purchased it. Sorry for all questions and I hope someone honest will answer my questions about my Sako. It's hard to find anyone that will give you an honest answer without trying yo rip you off in the mean time..just looking for an honest straight up answer..Thank you my friends... Ding
