Vintage Garcia Sako Model L579 Forester in .243 Winchester
SOLD
Description: This Garcia imported 1970's vintage Sako Model L579 Forester in .243 Winchester is an all-original beauty and has obviously lived a very easy life. Featuring a gloss blue high-polish factory blue finish and a L579 Sako action, this Forester has a 23" inch barrel and a gloss-finished checkered Walnut stock with a black factory pistol grip cap and buttplate. These vintage Sako Forester's are sought-after by shooters and collectors alike as they are considered one of the finest regular production rifles ever made. The Forester quickly earned a reputation as being a beautifully-made and well-balanced rifle that is reliable, accurate, and very attractive. This particular .243 Winchester example is in excellent condition overall. The gloss blue finish rates 98% plus and it has a perfect bore. The rifling still has sharp lands and grooves and there is no pitting, erosion, or imperfections visible throughout. The original factory stock is in excellent condition. The wood is free from any cracks, chips, repairs, or visible damage. The checkered panels are still crisp and all of the original stock hardware is still intact and in good condition. The only deduction we can find on the stock is the black plastic pistol grip cap has a crack in it that has been glued. There is a close-up picture provided of this cap so you can see for yourself. All of the controls on this Sako Forester are in perfect working order, and the action is extremely smooth when worked and turns into battery perfectly. The trigger on this Sako is excellent, breaking like a glass rod with a very light pull with no grit or slop. This Sako would be an excellent addition to any rifle collection as both an investment and shooter. They do not make them like this anymore!
