Sako L579 .308

Recommended Posts

Sako L579 chambered in 308 win.  
S/N research indicates that this one was produced in 1966 or 67.
It is a custom. the fellow that I purchased this from said that his uncle had it built in the late 70s for his wife to shoot.  He has no idea of the builder or the manufacturer of the barrel.
Nice maple stock
26" heavier than average contour barrel (muzzle dia: .680") borescoping shows no evidence of throat erosion and nice sharp rifling throughout.
1-10" twist
Nice bedding job (much cleaner than I have ever done myself!)
13" Length of pull
Bluing is darn near perfect.
Weighs exactly 8lbs as pictured.
Trigger is crisp and breaks just over 2.5lbs.

It has been drilled and tapped on the receiver.  I don't know Sakos that well, but that does not look factory.
As mentioned the LOP is a bit short.  

I have not fired this rifle because I do not have rings to fit the action.  The previous owner did say that the rifle shot really well, for whatever that is worth.

$1100 Catalina/OV/North Tucson area
