Nesika bolt - help with ID?

[Field_2_Fork]

I recently bought this bolt on a forum, it was described to me as being an aftermarket bolt for any Sako, long aciton - magnum rifle. I bought it with the hope of building a Sako L61R in .300WM, buying an actions without a bolt or stock, and then also buying a stock online.

Upon arrival I realize the bolt doesn't fit, the lugs are approx .035 to wide for the race on the action.
I then started a thread on the Sako forum, where several of the long time members have declared it will not work for several reasons, and that it is most certainly not for a Sako action. They are very knowledgeable and I believe they are correct.

Wondering if anyone here would be able to ID what rifle/action this bolt might be for? Some of you I know have used Nesika actions, and if anyone is likely to be able to help with this, this is the place.

Here are the action and stock I bought, thinking I'd piece a nice little rifle together. The action is unfired, dates to approx. 1970.

Almost no doubt that’s a Nesika. The shroud certainly points to that as well. Examples of Nesika’s. Note the fluting pattern, the undercut bolt behind the lugs, the ejector pin, bolt handle and knob.

Several years ago (2020 ??) , there were a bunch of Nesika parts (actions, bolts, rails, etc..) being shopped on the internet from their foreclosure. Some parts were from Poulsbo, WA as most were from Sturgis. I remember seeing several Model S and Model V , long action, magnum bolts (.545" bf and .590") that were for sale. That might be what you have ..... research both models as this pic below might help


Model S ... my dimensions are close approximations based on the pic from the inet.

yours appears to be a magnum

Thanks. It has some wear up close, but for my intentions of actually shooting and hunting with this old rifle it will do just fine!

This is great, I'll compare to mine. Very helpful.

call Chad at Long Rifles Inc - he is the resident expert on nesika bolts and likely will have one to compare against yours

it’s a Nesika for sure.

It’s a probably a V, but could be an L. another long action is an M but it’s not that one unless the bolt diameter is .750. L, and V action bolts may be the same.

I have 2 L, 2 V, and an M. All left handed.
