Sako Question

frank l · 05-22-2009, 02:19 PM

I Have a .22 Sako rifle that I'd like some information on. I"m pretty sure it is a "Vixen" although it is not marked as such. The stock is light colored with a rosewood pistol grip cap and forend cap. I have several other Sakos and they all have a round end on the bolt, this one has a square , cube, on the end of the bolt, the top is checkered with a cocking indicator which sticks out of the rear of the bolt when cocked. The safety is on the left side of the cube. Any information on this rifle would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like a Vixen, but pics would help.

Regarding the Sako Vixen. That is the L46 action and the early ones had a flat toped bolt sleeve with the safety on the right side and a red cocking indicator which protruded out the back when the safety was off (forward)
