New Member with Sako Finnwolf

[Bigdaddy6]

Hi I’m Jim from Pennsylvania a long time owner of a Sako Finnwolf VL63 .308 Serial #7xxx. I’m new to Sako Collectors. I’m thinking about selling my Sako I’ve owned for over 50 years. Trying to figure out what it’s really worth. And maybe a little history. The gun is in great condition with a Leupold 3x9 scope with weaver mounts.

I would like to own VL6 in 308 shame it’s near impossible to export your rifle to NZ

The Finnwolf commands a relatively high price these days. .308 not quite as much as the scarcer .243. The pad added to your rifle makes it not quite original; however, if the stock was not cut in installing the pad then that won't hurt the value as much. I haven't seen a nice, original Finnwolf sell for less than $1,500 lately, but it all depends on condition and originality. An incipient crack in the stock or evidence of repaired wood finish, touched up bluing, or a worn or corroded bore can cut its value in half. What an individual buyer might see in your rifle can make a big difference in how quickly and how much it sells for.

The Leupold scope is worth between $200 and $250 by itself, but it won't add that much value to the rifle if left in place.

Thank You. The gun hasn’t been touched or altered in anyway as long as I owned it. I purchased in in 1976 or 77. And always took care of it. It’s all original except for the pad and the scope.
