During my time on the SAKO collectors site its come to my attention that in the U.S sako's have been rebaged and customised by my many specialist rifle manufactors, and also in Europe I am sure. I am trying to gather a list of SAKO derived rifles. Lets begin here:
1. Coltsman (L46, L461, L57, L579, L61R)
2. Winslow Customs
3. Wildcat - one of my favorite rifles.
4. Browning Safari
5. FN combinationations from Europe - sako made.
6. Kimber ?
7. Marlin (322 & 422 (L46)
8. Mauser - sako influenced
9. Military Sako's M39 - Nagant connections
10. Interarms
11. Mossbergs and as CMJR mentioned :\
12. O'Brien
13. H & R (317, 330, 340 & FN Variations)
14.Grendel SRT with folding stock (added thanks to L61r)
15. Japanese-made Dickson Howa Golden Bear (added thanks to Stonecreek)
16. Anshutz- no confirmation, just rumor
17. Beretta- 501 & 502 (L579 & L61R)
18. Browning- Medallion, Olympian, Safari (L461 & L579) L61R? High Power?
19. Flaig's- no data ?
20. Holland & Holland- (L61R) only 500 to 600 made?
21. Ithaca- LSA 55 & 65 (Tikka)
22. JC Higgins- 52 (L46) Sold @ Sears?
23. Karl Mayer- no data ?
24. Lazzeroni- no data ?
25. Magnum Research- Mountain Eagle- (L61R)
26. Montgomery Wards- EIN 750 (L57)
27 North American- Grizzly (L57 or L579?)
28. North American Shooting Systems- Canada, model?, Custom? no data
the list has been added to from paulsonconstruction thread thanks for your hard work also there might be some in the list that are incorrect, I will adjust.
I think from what I have seen the Coltsman and Wildcat models are the best of the derivative rifles.
Add your comments it would be very interesting to find out some more sako relationships that have been forged over the period of production.
