Learn me on this Sako

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?

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 agree Sako makes a great rifle and it deserves a quality piece of glass like a swaro but feel a Schmidt and bender is a little over kill I'm not putting a Schmidt and bender on anything less than a custom rifle. Swaro in the $1000 to $1600 range would be perfect for it.

I recently got a Tikka with a Meopro on it. I'm so impressed that I will probably get the Meostar R2. I know all Sakos are good guns but wasn't sure if this was a cheaper model or what. Feels and looks like a high end gun though.

Meostar is a great scope. I chose that over a Z3 for my Sako A7.

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.

I thought it was an A7 at first but I think it says AV. May be a Finnbear or Finn bear Deluxe but not sure. I was hoping one of the resident Sako experts could help me out.

I think its a Finnbear, but I'm not expert

Sako A7 is less than 10 years old probably around 07 or 08. Tikka T3 has been around longer.

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

I you don't want that Leupold - I'll take it off your hands.

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

I'll probably keep it. Even if I change it out, I have some guns with lesser glass on them that I can change out.
