Sako Deluxes and SuperDeluxes have been discontinued since Beretta’s purchase, but if you want the finest pre-Garcia, pre-Beretta L61R ever made, this is it! …the best example of Sako you could have in your collection. What sets this Anniversary edition apart from the later Super Deluxes (besides the floor plate and stock carving) is the tasteful leaf motif gold-filled engraving on both sides of the receiver. All metal parts (except bolt, extractor, and trigger) are highly polished and deeply blued. The receiver bridges and cocking piece shroud have Sako’s proprietary steel checkering, and the bolt knob features an engraved band. While vintage Sako rings can still be found in auction sites, the current Opti-Lock rings are made for these actions and are a fantastic choice if the owner desires to set this gun up for shooting. The famous 3-lug L61R action (and its smaller versions) introduced the double square bridge receiver with integral dovetails for mounting scope rings. The stock also has Sako’s vintage sling swivels, a stock cross bolt, and Sako recoil pad.
