Hello fello Sako affectionatos. I posted some pics of my old .308 in the appropriate section, I hope, of the group photos page. The background of this rifle is largely unknown, however, thanks to Jim Lutes and others, we kind of have a decent idea about the history of this rifle. She is a transition piece for lack of a better word. When Sako stopped producing the L57 and started the 579 line, they had a number of funtional parts left over. They, being frugal Scandihoovians, used up some of the old 57 parts on the 579 line. I came about this rifle by pure luck having purchased it from a dealer on GA who was clueless. He had no pics of the rifle and said it was really nice and that it had a flat bottomed bolt. I called Jim and he told me to beware as the flat bottomed bolt was discontinued with the 579 version. I bought it anyway sight unseen....too cheap to pass kind of a thing. When I opened the box .... well, I was in awe. Go look at the pictures and let me know what you think. God I love these guns!
