Sako Pre-Garcia Bofors Marked 223 Rare

[shrapnel]

I have a Sako Pre-Garcia in 223 I will sell. It is probably a better gun than the new ones.

For some reason, Sako neglected making many L461 rifles in 223. I can't find any reason, but they are more scarce in any configuration in the earlier guns. This is the best of the Sako rifles, when they were still handcrafted and the Bofors steel is quite sought after. This is a decent gun with some handling marks, but a fantastic rifle, just the same...$1199.00

Do you know why they put a front sight on these rifles but I rarely see the rear sight needed to use that?

Sako used to sell a detachable aperture sight that clamped onto the rear dovetail instead of a scope ring.
