Here is a Moose floorplate Deluxe from 1962 in .264 Magnum with a 26-inch barrel. This may or may not be your Holy Grail, but it certainly qualifies at least as a chalice from the table of Leonardo's Last Supper.
At the $2,500 starting bid it may sound pricey, but I would price it out this way: Start with a fair price for a nice early L61R Deluxe, then add a percentage for the scarce caliber, another percentage for the 26-inch barrel, another percentage for the moose floorplate, then an easy hundred-plus bucks for the original Sako ringmounts. This gets you right up there to the starting bid, so I don't think this one is over-priced.
