Hi from South Africa
The manuf.date database for 30-06's attached to this site only starts at serial no 28 165 in Dec '67. My L61R Finnbear Delux 30-06's serial no. is 21 xxx, (3 locking lugs) this tells me that it was obviously manufactured before this date. Can anyone perhaps narrow it down a bit further? My rifle is then older than I am and I'm in my early 40's! I also cannot find the twist rate for my rifle, any input? BTW, great site, what a wealth of info on Sako's!
