Highly regarded for its butter-smooth push-feed action, deep bluing, and premium walnut stock, it consistently shoots sub-MOA. It is a premier collector’s piece and a highly accurate, heirloom-quality big game hunting rifle.  Key Specifications & Features Action: Long action (L61R), typically featuring a robust three-lug bolt (two at the face, one at the rear). Caliber: .270 Winchester—renowned for its flat trajectory, moderate recoil, and excellent performance on medium-to-large plains game. Barrel: Historically cold-hammer-forged "Bofors steel" on earlier iterations; exceptional factory accuracy capable of cloverleaf groups with the right handloaded or factory ammo. Trigger: Fully adjustable with a crisp, clean break. Safety: Two-position safety that allows the bolt to be cycled and the chamber unloaded while the safety is engaged. Bottom Metal: Traditional hinged steel floorplate.  Real-World Performance Accuracy: Sako is renowned for its stringent accuracy standards. Even with older optics, these rifles frequently outperform modern mass-produced production rifles.  Handling: Well-balanced but has some heft, making it very steady offhand or from a rest. The .270 Win chambering is highly effective for whitetail deer, mule deer, and antelope.  Durability: The fit, finish, and metalwork are of a standard rarely matched by contemporary manufacturing. The integral dovetail scope mounting system is excellent, allowing scopes to be removed and re-zeroed easily. Specifications The 1981 Sako L61R Finnbear in .270 Win is a classic, long-action bolt-action rifle made in Finland. It features a 25-inch barrel, an overall length of 44.5 inches, and weighs approximately 8.1 lbs. Known for its smooth push-feed action and adjustable trigger, it holds 5 rounds.  Detailed Specifications: Caliber: .270 Winchester Action: Bolt action (long action), pushfeed with a reliable Mauser 98-style ejector Barrel Length: 25 inches Overall Length: 44.5 inches Weight: Approx. 8 lbs 1.8 oz (varies slightly depending on wood density) Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds (internal hinged floorplate) Stock Material: Oil-finished or high-gloss select walnut (often with a Monte Carlo comb and cheekpiece) Trigger: Sako adjustable single-stage trigger (typically factory-set around 3.5 lbs) Safety: Two-position side safety with a bolt release  Condition Both the furniture and metal are in excellent condition.
