Hi,
I recently ran into a pristine condition Sako M591 carbine cal. 308 with hand engraved oak leaf motifs that I just couldn't let go.. The scope is an older Tikka Platinum 3-9x40 on optilock rings which is nothing special but with the rifle I'm not really sure what i've got here because I have never seen a Sako carbine with these engravings before. I know that similar engravings were used with the Super Deluxes at the time but this rifle is missing the other ornaments from floor plate and trigger guard. To my eye it is in 99% condition with immaculate metal and just a nearly invisible small scratch on the stock next to the floor plate. It has most probably been fired a handful of times but at least for the last 9 years has been kept in a safe. Originally bought it to be used for white tail and moose but now i'm thinking that i might regret it if I go and scratch it... Any info on what i've got here would be greatly appreciated!
