SAKO 75
      06/09/09 06:09 AM

Recently I acquired a used Sako rifle chambered in 270 Winchester, that is very similar in appearance to my Sako 75 Hunter. I described the rifle on the Sako collectors forum and was told it is also a 75 Hunter, but I still have my doubts.

The 270 rifle is marked "IV" and the serial number on the action (like my 30-06 75 Hunter), and "Imported by Stoeger" on the underside of the barrel. Sako was owned by Beretta when my 30-06 was built; I understand Sako owned Stoeger at the time my 270 was made. The 270 has a hinged floor plate, the 30-06 has a detachable box magazine. The bolts are similar in appearance, but will not interchange. The 30-06 bolt has a key-lock device, the 270 does not. The wood on the 30-06 is plain, flat in color, and has a matt finish. The wood on the 270 is rich, colorful, and beautiful, and has a glossy finish that appears to be varnish. Neither rifle has a fore end tip, nor is there any engraving on either rifle.

The two rifles are overall very similar in appearance, and it is certainly possible that they are both variants of the 75 Hunter. There are enough differences to make them different models, but enough similarities that they could be variations on the same model. Does anybody here know?
