Sako Levergun??

Post by Ram Hammer »

Anybody ever hear of a Sako Levergun? I ran across one in 243 today. It looks a little like a Win 88. Any idea what their are worth?

I don't consider myself an expert on all things guns, but was sure caught off guard when I saw this :shock:

Sako Finnwolf. Great rifles, extremely high quality. Scarce in .243. In 98%+ condition I'd expect it to run from $1200 to $1500; maybe more.

What did they want for it?

Almost as rare as the rifle is finding a spare magazine.

$1,250 is the asking price. They call it an early model with 4 round mag and a 4X Redfield scope. Condition is listed as excellent.

I HAVE HANDLED MANY OF THEY WHEN I RAN A GUNSHOP!! THEYARE HIGH QUALITY LEVERS, GETTING VERY SCARCE, VERY ACCURATE, AND WORTH EVERY PENNY THEY ARE ASKING. Most were made in .308. If I had the money, that would be in my hot little hands. I suggest you purchase it. You will never, never regret it!! Art

I hunted with one for years in Alaska. Mine was a 308. Scary accurate, and big medicine for caribou! Buy it if you can. :)

A .243 Finnwolf just went for $1K on Gunbroker. There's one listed now in .308 for $899 with no reserve, though the auction just opened.

My brother owns one that he bought new in 1972. I have used it on several occasions. It is a tackdriver. Used it to take a good antelope, a few deer and a whole bunch of prairie dogs.

I think this rifle in .243 was the most popular around here?
