Finnwolf VL63 Finnwolf education needed

[bigbear]

This is the Finnwolf I shoot and hunt with (my other two live in the darknes of my safe). I am interested in information about the scope rings and bases. It has original iron sights. Funky Pachmayr recoil pad. The wood is nicely figured but has some dents. A few scratches in bluing.Serial number 5xxx.Sorry about the upside down pictures, but I am officially old so what can I say.

From the photos, the rings and bases are factory Sako. They are period correct as well. The front extension ring is a rather hard to come by ringset which allows more scope options. The bases are tapered the same as the dovetails on Sako’s turn bolt rifles which allows use of the featured Sako Vintage ring sets. This makes for a truly versatile outfit which is windage adjustable. Once set , you can remove your scope and shoot irons if desired. The scope will re-mount and still be on target.
Nice gun! (For an old dude )

Additionally: at 122 years old … you are doing much better than average! What bourbon do you drink?

The rifle was bought from the worst curmudgeon I have ever dealt with. He was old school before they built the damn school. I am sure this rifle has been some wild places before it got to me. I am even happier with it given your insights. It shoots tiny groups and like my other Finnwolfs it has a glass rod crisp trigger.

When I drank bourbon back in the day, I drank Maker's Mark. My preferred brown liquor for several decades now is Cognac,Remy Martin VSOP to be specifivc 'cause it's smooooth and the next morning you still remember which way to sit on the horse to get back to the road.

And finally,as my dear grand daddy used to say "thank you for the information ,sir!"

Beautiful rifle. I just came-into one, but it has aftermarket bases and rings. I just bought 3 sets of SAKO rings, and one happens to be offset. I wish I could find the SAKO style bases for my Finnwolf as well, because I also bought a Finnwolf peep sight, but I guess it goes onto a SAKO dovetail base, otherwise I need to find one that goes into the holes on the side of the receiver. Beyond that, I like your old-school, Tangent Military style backsight, but mine has a 2-Leaf Express Sight Which I like very much.

Excellent choice of scope as well.I have the same one on my BLR and it has engaged soft targets from 10 ft. to 750 yards. On 1.5x you can keep both eyes open and use your levergun like a shotgun!

Please post pictures of your rear sight. I would love to see pics of the rifle too if possible cause I really like Finnwolfs.
