Historical profile
The Sako AV series represents the evolution of the L61R Finnbear long actions, refined to offer greater rigidity, reliability and accuracy to high-end hunters and sport shooters.
In the 1980s the Hunter configuration with blued finish and walnut stock became a symbol of Finnish gunmaking: highly refined mechanics, a clean trigger and excellent out-of-the-box accuracy.
Although born for the civilian hunting market, the Sako AV platform also influenced the evolution of specialist and marksman rifles thanks to its precision reputation and strong action design.
