Would like some information and a value on this rifle if possible

[SkullKeeper]

I was told this was a first year Sako and that it has no model number given to it because of this. It looks very clean. I would like to know something about this and also a possible price point. Thank you in advance for everyone’s help. I thought I could post a video but apparently only photos so these are screenshots.

There is a Sako Collectors Club that may provide you with the best, or at least better, answers. You will need to register on it but it is free. I have found answers to my Sako questions there.

AH doesn't like us to put links to other forums so just Google "Sako Collectors" and it should be one of the first up.

"Sako High Power Mauser Sporting Rifle" made in the 1950's until about 1957, per the following Chuck Hawks article:

Sako High-Power Mauser Sporting Rifle

Interesting read, and a neat find. I wasn't personally familiar with them until this post. Appears to be very similar in construction to my FN 1952 in 270 Win., but no surprise there.

It is indeed a Sako High Power built on an FN action. Very nice rifles and that one appears to be in very nice shape. As to value it should be in the same ballpark as FNs of the same vintage unless you find a Sako collector willing to pay more. Certainly a better quality rifle than most of today's new rifles. Nice find!
