#Sako riihimaki 222 price serial number

This vintage Khales scope was unfortunately too long by circa 5 mm/0,2in when I mounted it and I could not close the bolt easily I decided therefore to scope the L46 with a brand-new Swarovski Habicht Nova 4x32 that I had in stock at home. I spotted in Germany a second-hand Khales Super 3-9x38 dating back to the early 1960вЂ™s Forum member Lancaster agreed to purchase it for me as вЂ“ again, the seller did not want to sell abroad. With regards to a rifle scope, I had nothing on shelf that would have matched with the L46 my available scopes in 26 mm (central tube) were either too long in size (and I would have had to remove the rear sight, as it is often the case with this rifle) or not powerful enough in magnification (I did not want to fit a X4 scope for engaging fox-sized targets at 100/200m).

In December 2020, once all paperwork expedited вЂ“ a simple & smooth process within the European Union even in Covid-19 time, the rifle was at home. I sought - at that point, support from our Finish Forum member Igorrock for making initial contact with the seller, who unfortunately declined to sell outside Finland however Igorrock kindly found almost immediately a similar rifle for sale and - icing on the cake, at a price lower than the previous one! I decided therefore to explore opportunities in Finland, SakoвЂ™s home country, and immediately found one for sale online, in addition at palatable cost.

I then started trawling the net for such a beauty: almost never seen in France where I reside, extremely uncommon in Germany, Austria and the UK where I buy from on a regular basis, available from time to time in the US and in Australia but commanding high prices there, in addition to probable troublesome shipping issues and side costs to be expected. 222 stutzen bolt action rifle on my gun rack! 222, I was infected by the L46 virus in late 2020 and managed to convince myself that I was missing such a nice. 264 that shared with us photos of their respective Sako RiihimГ¤ki stutzen rifles L46 & L461 in.
