Thread: NZ Police Sako 222

A longish question for the historians on the forum.

Way back in 1993, NZ Police disposed of their Sako 222Rem bolt action rifles, which were subsequently released to the NZ market through numerous dealers around the country.
They seem to have been supplied with both the L461 and A1 variants of the "Vixen". There may have been others.

I'm trying to gather some information on those rifles; specifically:-
what was their designated purpose,
who was the original supplier to NZ Police,
what was the quantity supplied,
what type of "iron" sight was fitted - rear of barrel blade, or receiver mounted aperture (or either-model dependant),
were any of them supplied with a telescopic sight,
if so, what make and type.

Many thanks to anybody who has the knowledge.
