1970 Sako L579 Forester 243 Cal 23.5" Barrell - Excellent Condition
Description:
The Model L579 Forester
When the Forester was more of a new item, these were highly sought after Sakos. They maintain a fairly high market value due to their reputation, selling for $1,200 to $1,700, which is a bit of a surprise were it not a Sako.
This classic rifle features a dark walnut stock, finely machined to fit the barreled action perfectly. Checkering the stock was a common practice, as was the hard buttplate – probably not a comfort issue, though, with a 9-pound .243.
Both the barrel and the action make the L579 interesting. The heavy-profile barrel is made from Bofors steel, an oil-hardened steel known for its high durability and strength. Chambered in .243 Winchester with a 1:10 twist, this rifle promises to hammer like only a .243 can.
The L579 action is quite interesting. The bolt body is more petite than anticipated and uses what appears to be a Mauser-type claw extractor, but instead uses the Sako extractor cut into the side of the bolt head. The safety is located on the right side of the bolt shroud, and opposite the safety is the bolt stop to remove the bolt. Underneath the action itself is the hinged floorplate.
Condition
Both furniture and metal are in excellent condition. The stock has a couple of small handling marks. The high-gloss oil finish glows.
This is a used item. While we do not test-fire our used firearms, we inspect and function-check them to ensure that they are fully functional to the best of our ability.
