Lever Action Need info Sako Finnwolf

[Sakohunter264]

Recently acquired a neat little Sako Finnwolf chambered in .308WIN. The serial number is in the low 1200’s. I assume it was a V2 rifle with heavier barrel. What’s different about this rifle is obviously the synthetic stock. I took it all apart and everything seems sound. Maybe the barrel has been cut down slightly. Needing some info on this - who might have made the lightweight stock, etc? Thx.

MPI made stocks for lots of different and scarce models. I would guess it is from them. http://www.mpicustomstocks.com/

Congrats on your Finnwolf purchase. From the limited picures it does appear the barrel has been cut down. A picture of the muzzle would likely confirm it.

Several years ago, when I was actively playing with my finnwolfs, I found a stock on the "net" that was composite. I jumped on it. I found out from the seller that he made a few and lost interest for various reasons. I also found that he had another and purchased it. My older brother loved it for shooting long range prairie dogs (Richardson's) and I don't have the heart to get it back. Mine went to .243 and it was a real good fit. I had fun decorating it and it shoots well. I didn't fill in the recoil cross bolt inlet as yours is. I tried to get him to make some but he had gone on to other interests and "such is life". The following are pictures of it in 22-250 as it was as original. Parts were all Sako save for the stock,

Some great info here. I’ll post some photos of the barrel. I do believe it has been cut down. The front site is missing.

Neither the 22-250 Barrel the .243 or the 7MM-08s I found were made with front sights. All went on the Wolfs. I would be curious to see inside the stock how they accounted for the possible lack of the recoil crossbolt, as it has a union with the hanger that the "clip" fastens to.

Posted some photos of the stock. Does anybody have any idea on value?
