L46 Mannlicher full stock

[bigcountry4me]

Simply would like to set the record straight for the sake of accuracy. I saw this add and there were some obvious errors. So I emailed the gentleman to simply help him with the model number (L46) and to state it is not a Deluxe. I also indicated there MAY be a specimen or two he could use for potential comparison. I also suggested he join the club to look for rifle length comparisons and to possibly ask the experts who are well versed in everything L46. He used my first name (wish he hadn’t) but believe he has good intentions. Unfortunately he missed a few of the possibilities I had included, i.e. the two piece stock reference is not correct.

"No good deed goes unpunished" is a quote that is constantly appropriate and reappearing.

Oh well, Cheers to trying.....

I saw a standard Sako sporter advertised on Gunbroker as a "Deluxe". I wrote the seller to advise the he might do better if he revised his post to more accurately reflect the actual model. He responded to me that it was indeed a "Deluxe", just not a "Super Deluxe". I then invited him to post photos here on the forum to receive the advice of a number of well-versed Sako enthusiasts instead of just taking my word for it. Seems he has thus far declined the opportunity. I haven't looked back at his post since I tend to ignore offers from sellers who insist on a Sako being one thing when it is actually another.

On the other hand, I'm quite happy with my "L61R in .222" that I got off Guns International a couple of years ago. All original from 1951, with wing safety and 6x Kollmorgen in Stith mounts.

Yeah, that one looks just like the Deluxe in the Gunbroker ad I saw!

I guess I can't be too hard on the uniformed seller. I got my L61R .300 H&H for a relative song because the seller insisted it was a .300 Win Mag and didn't bother to clean the dirt off of it before photographing it. It's the most accurate magnum rifle I've ever owned and the one that the undertaker will "have to pry from my cold, dead hands".
