Two of the BEST Bolt Actions EVER MADE

YES! keep em coming. I was a Sako dealer for 17 years and still LOVE to learn more about older rifles. very professionally presented.

These "vintage" rifles are so much better made than just about anything you can find new on the market today.

I stupidly passed on buying a Sako Finbear in 30-06 at the US Army.PX in Germany in 1968. I'm still crying about it.

My first big commercial rifle was a SAKO FINNBEAR .300 WINCHESTER MAGNUM. I was in high school and could not afford a scope but did get the SAKO RECEIVER SIGHT. Today a SAKO SAFARI GRADE 375 H&H Magnum sits in my safe holds 4 plus one and is very accurate. Good video thanks for your fine professional job.

I'm always so happy when I see that you've posted. I get settled in with a coffee, tobacco pipe and sometimes a note pad (or a beer and a pipe) and then i sit back and learn. Thank you for keeping up the best show on the tube.

A 30-06 has and always will be the most universal caliber that’s ever been invented and has staying power like no other!!! Love your videos You are a great gift for the bolt action enthusiast ! Thanks again

It’s funny Mike but I just put a Sako Finnbear deluxe on layaway at a pawn shop at a great price🙌 My favorite hunting rifle Brand by far. Been collecting fine rifles 60+ years and own and have owned hundreds of rifles over the years and Sako and Tikka make one of if not the best rifles for their price. Their 85’s and 90’s shoot better with more factory ammo then any other Brand I own. They shoot better then most of my custom rifle builds especially when handloaded! You had to show my second favorite rifles and Best Buy on the market my beloved Husqvarna rifles 🥰 I just got the light weight model just last month since I didn’t have a light weight yet! The Imperial model’s are just gorgeous in looks and function👏

Thank you for your thoughtful and informative presentation.

I have my dad's Sako Finnbear in 264 mag he bought new in 1965 for $163.00. He hunted with it for 50 years and killed numerous game animals in that time. I always thought it was a beautiful rifle and will never part with it. Thanks for the video!

My father was an accuracy shooter on the bags, trap shooter and deadly hunter. He valued a good rifle or shotgun more than anything. For my graduation from collage, he gave me a Sako Finnbear, .270 Win. I've taken great care with that rifle carrying it into the field. I mounted an early Lueopold Vari-X 3x9 and 40 years later I think that glass is still superior to most new scopes. The bolt is so solid and smooth. The Walnut is classic warmth.

I don’t compliment your videos often enough. This is true of videos in general as I am too easily distracted in my later years. So, I’ll work on that! Great content and very interesting to learn the finer details of things like this. Now, I will have to check in on these things. Thank you!

I've got the M-65 with the rosewood caps, medium weight barrel, and open sights. The bolt knob is much smaller and stainless on mine though. I purchased mine used in 1992, and it's chambered in 270. It is my first ever rifle that I purchased when I was 21 years old. Aside from some very light scratches in the wood it looks like near new condition

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing these beauties with us

Lovely rifles, I have a Tikka T3 in 233 Rem. Synthetic stock, bolt seems sloppy until you lock it down, but you know a bit of dirt is never going to jam it! Just a great rifle for fox hunting. Cheers from Ireland!

2016 i bought a Tikka 65 in 30-06. Like new, 100% bluing and not a scatch on its beautiful wooden stock. It even had the factory seal in its trigger pull adjusting screw. Love it so much that i have to lovingly stroke it sometimes, ha ha. The only flaw shooting it is me, cause it is hard for me to get used its one staged trigger. I also have a hunting buddy, a gunsmith, whos factory is 3 miles from my home, he bought the old tikka factory machines and is no very famous barrel maker here in Finland. Accurate, hand made custom barrels. Love your videos Sir

My first rifle was a Tikka 65 Deluxe in 300 Win Mag. After that I have had around 150 rifles in total, but always come back to Tikkas and Sakos. Currently have a Sako A1 222 for red fox and a Sako A5 6,5x55 for general purpose. Also have my dad’s old Sako Finnbear 30-06 that he bought new in the 60’s. The Finnish rifles really are something else 😀

Best firearms channel on YouTube hands down. Thanks and please keep them coming sir.

The Finns make a fine rifle. Always have. Appreciate you, man

Mike, I said it before, but every time you shoulder a rifle your form is so smooth and precise. Thanks for the videos.

Love this content. Love to see those classic, discontinued rifles in appreciative hands. I'm always on the lookout for quality used rifles like these
