Sako-addicted
The "Varmint King" was the Marlin Model 422 Bolt Action Rifle and was made by Sako. Only 354 were were manufactured between 1956-58. They featured a stainless steel barrel and were marked "stainless steel" on the right side of the barrel. They were also marked "Varmint King" on the top roll stamp. The receiver used was a Sako L46. The barrel was a standard tapered version and not a heavy varmint barrel. I consider this hybrid to be a very rare and hard to get rifle. They don't come on the market all that often for obvious reasons. I got lucky and was able to get my hooks on two of them. So if you get a chance to get one my recommendation is to pick it up assuming that you beat me to it.
