Hi all
I am looking at buying a "brand new" L61R with serial number 441XX. Now when I say "brand new", I mean the guy who first bought it never fired it, and long story short, it is still at a dealer. Does not have one mark on it.
It fells quite light, but I want to use it as a guide rifle when taking out tourists in the reserves here in South Africa, so a lighter gun might be better, since it will hopefully not be shot too often in these scenarios.
My question is this: is it a good gun or are there some issues from these models that I need to know about regarding the 375? I know all Sako's are good, but some are better than other. I love Sako's and can pick this one up for about $1200.
Would love to hear what you think.
Regards
