From what I can gather from reading here and online, the P54 was never commercially imported into the US. It seems commercial imports of Sako rimfires started with the P72.
I know there are P54's here in the states but they seem to be very rare. Curious how the ones that are here, got here?
Were they all simply imported one at a time by individuals over the last 68 years or what?
How often do you see P54's come up for sale in the US?
I have (in one way or another) made it my goal to add one of each Sako rimfire to my collection. I started with a P94S varmint. I have since added a P72 varmint/target and a M78 varmint/target (not sure if they referred to them as varmint models back then, or simply target models).
So when I saw a P54 sporter come up for sale I jumped on it. I am almost 100% sure I over paid for it, but in the probably year and a half I have been looking for a P54, this is the first time I saw one come up for sale and I did not want to miss the chance to own one.
My real goal was to find the P54 target/heavy barrel version to match my others, but sometimes you take what you can get.
Has anyone ever seen a P54 target/heavy barrel come up for sale in the US? I am thinking the availability of them in the states is pretty much slim to none. Seems they are all overseas.
