Sako riihimaki 222 magazine clip3/17/2024 Best time to have a rifle with a Bofors barrel is when selling it as they bring a premium for some reason. Needless to say there has never been much love lost between the Swedes and Finns. In fact they(Bofors) threatened to sue Sako to remove that stamping on the barrel and the barrel steel used on the later unstamped barrels is the same. Interesting thing about the Bofors marking, you will never find anything in the official Bofors archives that says they even sold steel to Sako. Sako sold those actions to Marlin, JC Higgins and others for their own inhouse rifles so odd barrel combos as well as stocks are pretty common. The rifle pic posted is a L46 with the correct Riihimaki stamping and Bofors steel designation on the barrel. The name on the receiver, ie Riihimaki refers to where it was built, Riihimaki, Finnland and is not a model designation.
