Very very nice, what makes it 'collector grade?'

 

[FlyBoy270]

I have many Sako rifles - I guess I collect them - to find a 40 year old rifle in as new condition is of interest to me - and I would expect many other Sako fans - therefore I consider it collectible - something of quality and beauty

Allowing for inflation the last 40 years it probably is

Lovely rifle

That’s in very nice condition but I really think you are been very optimistic on your price

Very nice for a rifle of that age.
I see there is wear on the sling stud that would suggest it's been carried and hence fired. Would that be a fair conclusion?

I don’t know it’s history only it’s condition- I said it looks like it hasn’t been fired - it may well have had a sling fitted - the wear is minimal - the studs are not a precise thing and often have a burr that will rub off if a sling is fitted once - anyway if someone is interested they should view it to appreciate the condition- I will say 90% of comments have been appreciative of a very fine example of the type - that’s what is for sale - I don’t take notice of people telling me what they think it’s worth - it’s worth what someone wants to pay for it - no more no less -

BUMP WILL ACCEPT £900 can ship to your RFD AT COST circa £20
Year of manufacture from serial number: 384930 would be 1990, Sako L579 A2 Rifles were all CNC machined from 1988 onwards
so it's a mere 34 years old

How many times have you carried a rifle hunting and not fired it

I was offered £850 and refused it - so I don't think I am far out, one can always drop the price - increasing it is impossible

Mike, We do seem to have inducted a few "Tyre inspectors" of late.

I wonder how much a Sako A2 was then - perhaps someone might chime in - well it seems every body thinks it’s a handsome example of the breed - but nobody is eager to buy -
