I had to remove over 40 years of copper in the barrel and recrown the barrel. My pre garcia l61r was bought sight unseen, when I first took it to the range it would not shoot for ****. Sakos are wonderful rifles, the one you're looking at is definitely a deluxe model and the 7mm is a wonderful cartridge. It's hard to know how much wear is 'too much' without having first hand experience with a shot out bore. I would have taken some pictures but the salesman was trying real hard to get me and it just would have been weird.Īfter coming home and looking at my other rifle bores, I'd say the rifling was pretty similar. There was another Sako right next to it and this one's wood was exceptional compared to that one. It pretty much *looked* just like this rifle, but the wood was a lot nicer, or at least it looks a lot nicer in person. Your picture is exactly what it looked like, however, all the pictures I saw of 'Finnbears' online showed an actual stamp on the barrel identifying it as such. With a fancy stock it's probably a 'Finnbear'.but who knows without a visual ? Without my 'tainting' your answer.what wood is it made from and what (if any) is the inlay ?

The best way I know is to look at the grip cap on the stock.
