This is my FIL's Sako. I'm pretty sure my wife is trying to buy it for me for Christmas. I believe he bought it new in the late 80s but don't know much about it. It's immaculate and has probably had less than a box shot through it. It's a 7mm rem mag with an old Leopold Scope. I'd this a pretty good rifle? [/URL][/img] [/URL][/img]

Seriously though, any Sako is fantastic. You will be very happy with it.

Sakos are great rifles.... if my ol lady got that for me I'd watch a season of dancing with the stars if I had too.

That being said... I'd put a worthy piece of glass on top that bad boy. Something in the 30mm tube category, preferably Swarovski or Schmidt and bender.

I don't know the value of the rifle, but if it's in good condition you can't miss.

Pretty gun

Did Sako make the A7 in the late 80s? I thought the A7 didn't come about until the late 90s. I could be mistaken.

It's a Sako "A" series action from 1980 .

V (Latin for 5) signifies the magnum or long actions . The cross bolt on the stock confirms it's a magnum cartridge

Looks like a Deluxe model ,Very nice , high quality rifle

Appears to be wearing a Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x50 , fine duplex reticle

That is a super nice rifle and no reason whatsoever to change that scope.
