I have been a niche collector staying with CZ/BRNOs and S&Ws, so I know very little about Sakos or this gun, beyond "Finland and Riihimaki". I think I may have had one other Sako many many years ago, a quirky 308, I want to say model 55?? It was kind of clunky, not like this. I have had this for 10 years +/-, never shot it, got it for $1400ish if memory serves at a pawn shop in Asheville , NC. It is so beautiful. It seemed like a good price compared to similar BRNOs, which in pristine condition would have been closer to $2000 10 years ago, maybe more now. It appears pristine. No sign of use and almost no handling marks. Things I am wondering-
> How old?
> Is that peep sight likely original (seems to be, no rear sight, I see others online with same)?
> Are the magazines obtainable, or crazy expensive like some old BRNO mags? (I only have one)
> Is this the base model? (some have the embellishments on the trigger guard)
> Is the full stock less or more common?
> General value range?
