SAKO HELP

I have had alot of different rifles custom and non custom through the years. 1 make of rifle i have always wanted was a Sako but just never got around to buying 1. I am 45 and in the last 2 years have sold just about everything off to build 2 tactical rifles and put some nice glass on them. Can't wait to start shooting long distance and learning something new. I kept 1 varmint rifle, and varmint hunting here in South East Ohio has been a life long passion. Not just for the kill but also being in the woods getting in tune with mother nature. This brings me to my question SAKO HELP. I want to purchace a older used 1 but really do not know much about their history. What is pre garcia and bofors steal? What model actions did they make and what years. Are their some better than others and some to stay away from. Just lots of questions and answers i would like to find. I hope someone here chimes in and can direct me to a book or some reading material to help me out. Thanks ....DAN
 
Wow, you have a lot of questions. Rather than repeat the entire Sako history, I suggest you go here:

You will need to join, it is free. Very knowledgeable members will give you correct answers to your questions.
 
A suggestion...call Jim Bartol (JB) at Accuflite Arms, near Pgh. He's a life-long Sako dealer, one of the most respected in the country and top reputation with Sako. He has a gazillion of them and would most likely be able to fulfill your wishes. It's his only brand (besides customs) and loves to talk SAKOS. Good luck. PS...ask him about his RT100's.
 
I can't answer your questions but I have 2 (circa 1958) sako riihimaki in .222s I love them,accurate, smooth,quality,and good looking :) for whatever thats worth.
Wayne.
