Just picked up a Frank Banks Custom!

[Clako]

Hello from Las Vegas! I aquired a Frank Banks Custom 30-06. It is BEAUTIFULLY engraved. Does anyone know what model this is? Serial number is P-60***

It's a 30-06, so if it is a Sako it's probably a L61R action. The barrel is not stamped like a Sako factory barrel, so I'm guessing it's aftermarket not factory. Because you only show pictures of wood cravings & none of the action or any metal stampings is difficult to be certain. I've never saw a L61R serial number that started with a P, so that places some doubt on it being a Sako. Looks like someone put an extra coat of shellac over the entire stock, including the engraving, which is unfortunate.

There are two threads on this. I posted my comments on the Banks rifle on the other thread and included the link to my thread on the Banks .221 that I have..
