Looking here and there, I was lucky enough to get a fantastic m/28-30 from an Italian collector serial no. I have always disliked MN rifles since I 'met' a couple of Sako's M39s and fell in love with them. Such a scope can be mounted (preferably with rings contemporaneous with the rifle) low enough to offer practical eye alignment and be much better adapted to real world shooting.Hi everyone, as I'm new to this Forum, I'm introducing myself to you lovely people. I'd recommend replacing the scope with one which has no objective bell and will sit to the rear of the ladder sight. The problem with this is that the L46 stock comb is rather low, so with the very high scope mounting you will find it impossible for your cheek to even touch the stock when your eye is aligned with the scope. The mounts are very high, as they have to be with this particular scope since it has to clear the ladder sight. The scope mounts are very late Sako Optilocks from the 2000's, which seem out of place on a rifle 50 years older. I do have one strong criticism of the way it is set up. While it is a very desirable rifle, this model is not scarce enough to be what most people would regard as 'collectible'. Such a rifle is only 'collectible' in the sense that a Sako enthusiast might want one like it if he didn't already have one.

Its serial number likely places it somewhere in the mid-1950's, but as Paulson says, that can be misleading and the only way to know when it was made is to consult the Club's factory records service. Ive used several other Sako rifles over the years, and theyve all been of excellent quality.
