Thanks for the info& the welcomeRiihimaki is the name of the town the Sako plant is located in, not a model of Sako. You have a late Model L46 Deluxe that appears to be all original & in great shape. Based on the serial number & stock shape/style I would guess it from the late 1950's. Our factory records service may have production information on it if it is within the records we have available. Peruse past threads about the Sako Model L46 small actions to get all the info on your rifle. Welcome to the club.

Yes I live just outside of Ottawa,Ontario,live in the woods lots of whitetail deer geese black bear,black powder opens here Monday for deer,So ill hunting most of the week.Generally use my 222 for shooting nuisance beaver in the summer.but have 8 diff cal Sakos from 222 all the way to 338 mag for moose. Have my own wee range at home and do a lot of shooting with my 3 boys and wife hunts aswell. Always thought not much to hunt in Ireland,but maybe that's just around the north.Hi anthony,i most certainly do hunt there,whenever im home im living in australia at the moment but planning on moving home next year at some stage.i have leases in woods in offaly,Galway&wicklow so i get a taste of red,fallow&sika so pretty spoilt but pretty expensive!!and also lamp foxes thats where the .222 would come in!!wat part of canada do you live in now?beautiful country i would love to visit!!i work with a few welders from belfast,crazy guys
