I know for a fact that H&H did make a few rifles on Sako's. I wonder if any one here has one, or as pictures of H&H collaborations.
The H&H records show that they were all taken to the shooting grounds, shot and checked, then were sent back to be reworked if they didn't shoot properly(When did that ever happen with a Sako, right? ). Not all seem to have been restocked by H&H, or more likely made from barrelled actions, so there's a mix. The Husqvarnas I've seen do seem to all have been restocked, but only half of the Sakos I've seen appear to have been. They started with FFV Husqvarnas in the late 60s, then when FFV stopped making sporting rifles around 1972 they switched to Sako. The Husqvarnas were numbered on the trigger guards from 01 upwards to around 099, with Sakos being numbered up to above 400. I don't think they re-blued them.
I found a Sako made H&H for sale in Denmark at Hunters House if anyone is interested.
