Something spooked a buck and he almost ran over me in an improvised stand hidden, with tree tops from a recent harvest of mature hardwoods. He said come hunt, he had an extra rifle. I had the clothes, but the rifle was 200 miles round trip away. One of my friends found me one week doing some college field work, and wanted me to come hunt on the weekend. 223.īTW, the early ones were on Mauser actions. I'm also trying to justify the price of a small action. I never cared for the higher Monte Carlo models. They tried to keep the cost down with a lesser degree of polish on the metal on the standard models. I decided the reason it was called Safari was that one needed a gun bearer to carry it. Looked great, shot great, but it was way too heavy to carry. Perhaps one of the most beautiful rifles I ever owned was a Stoger DeLux Forester in. 223s while they were still readily available and affordable. One of my regrets is that I did not nail one of the small action.

Many were bought in hopes of turning a profit when the daughters were in college. The Deluxes tend to go for twice what a standard rifle sells for and the odd calibers always bring a premium.

I personally like the Stoeger era A series rifles, affordable, accurate, and a beauty to behold.Īs far as the original question in the thread topic, I would say a pre-Garcia L46 Deluxe in a rare caliber like 22 Hornet or. I think any gun made by Sako between, say, 1950 & 1990 would be a great hunting tool and a worthy heirloom to pass down to the next generation of hunter. The major gripe I have heard with the Garcia era guns was quality of bluing and polish was lacking, otherwise great guns. The 75 & 85 series moved even farther away to offer stainless actions and plastic stocks.

The major changes came in 1991 with the S/M/L series, removable recoil lug, standardized action size, different bolt work, ugly cookie cutter style stock work, etc. I have owned several of each and can tell you in my experience the quality is very consistent. Most noticeable additions are the new style fully adjustable triggers and the angular bolt shrouds. The actions were sized according to caliber. Every rifle from the L46 "Riihimaki" to the A series were essentially the same with small refinements and improvements along the way. I wont comment on the commercial Mauser style Sako rifles as I have never seen one in the flesh. I'll offer my uneducated but experienced opinion. Too many Sako "experts" that have never owned or held one I guess. Wow, lots of misinformation in this thread.
