I really like the 222, and I really like rifles made in finland, great stuff!

I like this type of rifle very much.

These Sako L46 rifles and the later L461 are beautiful firearms. The proportions are exquisite and quite fine checkering on the stocks.

It just really highlights the great manufacturing craftsmanship at Sako Finland.

Nice rifle! Excellent video. Your English is quite fine. Thanks for sharing.

Nice rifle! I have a Sako Finnbear from the 1960's chambered in 30-06. Those Sako rifles are workhorse and very dependable.

Lot to be said for having Grandfathers rifle. My father taught me to shoot with a .22lr that was his fathers. My son has it now and is teaching my granddaughter to shoot with it.

Inherited one. It's a very, very sweet little rifle.

The wind was blowing very strongly when you shot the second group. No wonder the group isn't as tight as the first one!

Original Weaver scopes from El Paso, Texas were very good scopes and are still in use today by many shooters they have been out of business for several years the ones today marked Weaver are not the same company. I have searched out the old Weavers to put on my vintage and modern rifles t6hey are good stuff.

But the wind was blowing!

Correct, it was a bit windy. But excuses are..excuses.

Good result for that combination in those light conditions BUT earlier or later in the day, it will not be adequate. Old scopes like the steel tube El Paso Weavers, can be fun to use at the range and from mid-morning to mid-afternoon; in the field. Earlier or later in the day, you need better glass, especially once you reach forty years of age. Thank you for showing us this excellent heirloom rifle, once again. I like the idea of using a snaffle hook to attach the sling. Was that inspired by a machine gunner’s sling attachment? Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.

Yes, the scope absolutely has it limitations. But still, it works decent. Glad you liked it 👍

And the sling, i use it for different rifles, so I like to switch it easy.

From the 50s thats good considering might be rifling wear is all but still hitting good, I'd bump it up 👆 a touch on the scope a few clicks. Buts its deadly right now. God bless 🇺🇸

I have sake heavy barrel special and 7 mm rem mag almost 12 pounds boy does it shoot great !

Sako Finnbear, Vixen, and Forester rifles were fine weapons. So pricey. You will NOT get a Sako for the price of a Winchester. Sako is a hallmark brand by far.

What ammo did you shoot the first time? I see you have a modern box of norma, if its the jaktmatch in 55 grains? The 222's generaly dont like the 55s at all. Why norma went from 50 gr to 55 in their 222 loadings is beyond me, but i guess they didnt want to make a 50 gr bullet for the 222 when their market is 223 wich uses a 55 grain. My rifle shoots 55's at 15cm/100 meters at best. But 50's go really good.

Button on the opposite side from where the bolt handle rests when it is closed.

I wouldn’t change a thing on your fathers and grandfathers rifle. Just enjoy it.

Its a keeper. Treasure your rifle.
