I just picked up this mint A2 from 1981. Wow, about the perfect classic deer rifle it seems to me.

Nice rifle. Those are very desirable even here in their homeland.

That's nice - is that the Finwolf or Finbear?

Looks nice, taken outside in natural light.

Daryl, neither of these two models. Finnwolf has lever action (the only model by SAKO) and Finnbear is another name for L61R. SAKO A2 is same as L579.

Daryl

This is the intermediate length action - updated version of the Forester if memory serves.

Forester in one sub-model of L579, there is Standard, De-Luxe and Heavy Barrel -versions too. Action size is, as wjw wrote, intermediate lenght i.e. SAKO made this action for calibers .308 win,.243 Win and .22-250 Rem.
