Description:
NICE! Sako Finnbear L61R Rifle Chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, made in 1970. I got this rifle from a friend and neighbor a few years ago when he turned 84 years old. He bought it brand new in 1970 when he lived in Michigan. He used it to hunt  for a few years but then changed to a .243 Winchester because of the lower recoil and the fact that a 7 mag was more powerful than he needed for the Whitetail deer that he hunted. The rifle has not had very many rounds through it and the bore looks like new. The metal is in excellent condition but the wood has a few minor dings that I have tried to show in the photos. It had an older Redfield scope on it but he took it off and gave it to his 8 year old grandson to play with. The  scope mounts are still in place. There is no rust or corrosion anywhere and the rifle has always been stored properly. 
Because it is 56 years old (Curio & Relic), the original factory recoil pad is beginning to show some cracking and stiffness. It is still very serviceable, but you may want to replace it with one of the new space-age pads that soak up the recoil. The action and trigger function perfectly, and no modifications have been made to the rifle.
I have not fired this one, but I have had a few Sako's and every one has been very accurate and exceptionally well made. This would be a great long range Deer or Elk rifle with one of the new scopes that are available. The 7mm magnum is powerful enough for all North American big game and shoots very flat. This is a very nice rifle at a great price!
Please look over the photos carefully. I have endeavored to take accurate photos that depict the actual condition of the item. Please contact me with any questions, Thank you for looking!
