RE: sako .222
Pictures would really help to establish a price. The early model L46 and L461 Riihimacki models have a hand rubbed finish with standard blue metal finish. The prices vary greatly on this model depending on condition and caliber. The Sako's known as Pre 72 or Pre Garciawith deluxe finish in excellent condition will bring big money to shooters or collectors. French walnut stocks with exceptional figuring and adeep, rich bluing on metal surfaces. Theywill haverose wood forend and grip cap in a bright, urethane finish. In 222 Rem. called a Vixen Deluxe will bring top price when in excellent condition and avery good price in good to excellent.
