Hi fellow Sako folks, below is a Sako Model 75 Hunter I presume ? however i just purchased this rifle and I am looking for some helpful information. The barrel has the Sako IV stamp and serial # in the 9069_ _ range.
The question(s) I have are :
1. based on the serial # the general manufacture date?
2. This appears to be a Model 75 Hunter ?
3. The recoil lug is not in the usual place of the AIII or AV . It is located as part of the rear portion inside the stock/trigger guard? What are your thoughts on the effectiveness of this system.
I have not shot this rifle yet but I will report as soon as I do. It looks like it was a former safe queen, but those days are over. I will start shooting it once I get a scope for it.
Information is appreciated, thanks
