- I recently purchased a Sako FinnBear L61R with the serial number 39821 and a 3rd luv on the left rear of the bolt. Is it a “pre Garcia” that everybody keeps referring to? I just got it based a friends excellent shooting Sako some years back.
- Actually, the Sako Finnbear first came out in 1961. I had a low serial # one in.30-06 that was made in the mid-60's. It was not particularly accurate and I didn't like the way the bolt worked at all (stiff). Sold it and now have a Winchester Model 70 made in 1980. Oh, and $1395 is WAY too high!
