[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2176581, member: 10755"] When I was a kid and all we had was a single shot .22 and a single barrel shotgun, there was a kid at school that would bring in photos of he and his family hunting hogs, foxes and goats in NW NSW, a state in Australia, and the rifles they used. We didn’t even own a camera then. Lol. They had several Sako rifles, all 70’s era L series, the prettiest one being a 222Mag with extra fancy wood, rose wood fore end tip, rosewood grip cap and white line spacers between tip, grip cap and butt pad. I wanted one so bad my Father took me to the Big Smoke and we looked at new Sako rifles and they were so pretty, but EXPENSIVE, we’re talking 3 months salary, and we’re way out of what my Father could afford, so it stayed a dream until I was able to find them and buy them as an adult myself. My Father loves the 270, he has 2, a Ruger 77 tang safety and a Sako L579, I bought them both for him and he adores the Sako so much he refuses to hunt with it, oh, and it’s a deluxe Forester. He’s 76 this year and still gets out and hunts half a dozen times each Winter. Sorry to reminisce, but this brought up good memories and not so good memories. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
