Sako-addicted
I recently found and purchased a first year production model L579 The serial number is 10172. According to the production info on the Sako/Fi website, it is one of the first 90 L579s made. The reason it is my holy grail is that it posseses the wide bottom metal that is found on some deluxe models but I haven't seen it on the standards until this. The rifle also has a one piece mag box and trigger guard and a flat bottom bolt handle that is checkered. The wood is very pretty, reminiscent of the L57s. The serial number is smootly stamped and the rifle is in very good condition for it's age of 48 yrs. I will add a picture to the bottom metal album. Enjoy.- Mike
