SAKO L579 FORESTER BOLT ACTION RIFLE .308 WIN

SERIAL NUMBER: 28542. BARREL: 22". CALIBER: .308 WIN. MANUFACTURED: 1962/63. This is a vintage, early-production Sako L579 Forester bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, manufactured in Finland during the golden era of Sako production circa 1962?1963 (Serial Number 28542). Built on Sako?s highly celebrated, purpose-built medium action, the rifle features a classic checkered European walnut stock with a distinct cheek piece and a factory hinged floorplate. The barrel is crafted from legendary, high-durability Bofors Steel, renowned for its exceptional longevity and pinpoint accuracy. Optimized for the field, the receiver has been cleanly drilled and tapped for front and rear iron sights, and it comes equipped with pre-installed scope rings ready to accept a hunting optic. While this period-typical modification alters its pure collector status, it enhances the rifle's practical versatility, making this exceptionally smooth-cycling, 60-year-old firearm a premium, highly reliable, and accurate choice for shooters and hunters alike.
