![]() Just wanted to share that these truly are wonderful little guns. It's strictly a cast-bullet gun and I'm not looking for top velocities - I have a 223 if I want more range. All of the magazines have needed about 20 minutes of special attention, but nothing else on any of them was in the least bit "wrong." This one "fit" me so well that I bought a used Youth Carbine Stock to put on my 222 American (not pictured) and am thinking about cutting the barrel to 18.5" or 20". These things shoot! It's my third 527 and it is a gem. This is mine compared to my 222 American with a 22" barrel, which is also amazingly light and handy, and you can see just how much less of the Carbine there is to thread through brush or behind a truck seat. It was not on my short list in terms of NEED, but, man, I wanted one in the worst way and I sold some stuff I just needed to sell anyway and bought it. It's everything I imagined in terms of handiness. I love the CZ 527s to begin with and saw a Youth Model 7.62x39 Carbine on sale and snatched it up. (As for "Garcia" rifles and "Stoeger" rifles, it doesnt matter if its pre Garcia post whoever or whatever they were just the distributers in the States.That IS a darling little carbine. The Sako 75 action bears no relationship to the "classic" Sako's of the previous decades. in 1992 I think they started up the L691 591 models which were not received that favourably and in 1997 they completely redesigned the action and called it the Sako 75. The A11 were still Sako Vixen's, A111 were Forresters and so on, its just a numbering for the action lengths much the same as Sako do with the Sako 75.The rifles were the same action and models, with some very minor differences with the older Sako's.

Untill 1979, when they decided to make five action lengths instead of three and number them A11, A111 A1v AV and AV Magnum. announced a recall on specific serial-numbered rifles manufactured by Sako Arms. 30/06Īll the same rifle and actions, just long, shorts action lengths. L61R is the Sako Finnbear - Long action for. L57R is the Sako Forrester - medium action for. L49R is the Sako Vixen - short action for. Okay someone asked a little while back difference between models: What I don't like about the Optilocks are the rings screws, which are too delicate (soft) IMHO. The thing I like about the Optilocks is the insert, which eliminates alignment problems and scope marks. The thing I like about the Conetrols is the looks and the height, medium Conetrols being lower than low Optilocks. I've never had a problem with either brand. I use those on my Stainless Sako (see below). has Sako Finnbear for sale from thousands of trusted. The set screw really doesn't do much at all, the mechanical friction between a taper that's getting smaller (the base) against a taper that's getting larger (the receiver) is what does the trick. Buy Sako Finnbear online at, the worlds largest gun auction site. They fit very tightly onto the dovetails, however, by way of friction (it's a tapered dovetail, so it's only going to go so far) and a small set screw on top of each base. ![]() ![]() The Conetrols do not have a limiter pin like the Optilocks. How do those Conetrol rings compare to the Sako Optilock? Do they slide in and stop like the Opti's? The plastic insert in the Sako looks like a good idea. ![]()
