Thanks for the info! much appreciated!You have a standard grade Coltsman, nice rifle. The caliber is somewhat interesting in that Sako made .223 rifles for Colt for several years before they began chambering the round in their own rifles.
These standard grade Coltsman rifles were built on a Sako L461 action for Colt by a contractor working "across the street" from Colt in Hartford, Connecticut. The contractor was either the High Standard company or a related company called the Jefferson Rifle Company working out of the High Standard facility in Hartford. The barrels and stocks, although very similar to those on the contemporaneous Sakos, were of American origin and fitted in the High Standard factory.
However, the Deluxe versions of the Coltsman were 100% made in the Sako factory in Finland and used Sako barrels and stocks.
The Jefferson Rifle Company also made proprietary rifles for Montgomery Ward and Sears on Sako actions.
