Dorleac Light Rifle on Sako L 57 Action
#161018 - 26/05/10 09:32 AM

These rifles come with stainless barrels which are blued by Boener in Germany with a proprietary process. This rifle is a 6.5x57.

Happy viewing!

Another very fine rifle. The wood and metal work is very pleasing to the eye. I like the butt trap for the aperture sight. As many will say or think, If I had the money I'd have Dorleac make me one of those.

A fine rifle of very graceful lines, except maybe for the safety. At least the chunky bolt shroud could deflect hot bits if you (heaven forbid!) had a blow up. I like the idea of blued stainless and the trapped peep, hopefully not Sako's.

G'Day Fella's,

Thanks for sharing this stunningly beautiful firearm with us Mehulkamdar!

But as a mate of mine suggested, how do they fit a the 6.5 x 57mm long cartridge, into a .308 size action???

I've got an L-57 in 308 Winchester, it fits with a surprising amount of room to spare. I would think a 6.5 x 57mm would fit OK, but it would be a bit tight.

G'Day Fella's,

Thanks for the insite into the L 57, 450 Ackley!
I have seen all kinds of L 46's but never an L 57 in the flesh?
Mind you, the custom one above almost makes up for what I've been missing out on.

Hommer,
There are a few L-57's in my part of the world, saw a heavy barrel 243 the other day, complete with a nice set of original open sights on it, odd I thought for what would have been considered a "varmint" rifle. Owner wouldn't part with it however, not from my lack of trying I might add!
I have an L-46 in 222 as well, one striking difference I see is the extractors, the L-46 has the longer thinner type of extractor, but the L-57 has the same extractor as modern day Sako's. L-46's had box mags, while the L-57's have an integral staggered magazine with the release inside the front of the trigger bow. Both have the "Model 70" style triggers.
I also have an old L-61, which is now a 35 whelen and a mint P-54 22 LR. Bit keen on old Sako's I am!

Great looking rifle....but.....

The front sight does look like an add on and not a piece of the barrel. Just being picky to an outstanding firearm.

Cheers,
Mark.
