Sako Finnbear 458...any Sako experts?

[oldcars]

I just bought several guns in an estate and one of them is a Sako Finnbear L61R in 458 win mag. When I got home I was looking through the Blue Book of Gun Values and according to it, they only made 20 in that caliber !?! Is that true? any Sako experts out there? The gun has a really ugly stock that looks like it was modified to fit off something else, a muzzlebreak and the rear sight is broken. any Idea where I can find a stock and rear sight? would a muzzle break have been original? the bluing is pretty good, any idea what it's worth?

sadly, I can't post pictures for some reason.

Well, I'm no expert, but there very well may be a resident expert or two here who will help. When I have questions regarding Sako, I go to the link above. A rather knowledgeable group, and members stonecreek and misako50 are quite willing to help.

Certainly NOT an expert

but, I rented a Sako in 30-06 last year when I was hunting plains game. The rifle was probably 30 years old and well used but extremely accurate and had very little recoil due to the weight of the rifle and the design of the stock.

Good luck in your search.

anyone know if the "only 20 made" is correct?
