My 30-06 finnbear L61R. Wonderful thing, I just wish it would shoot straight. Forum member James Passmore had a go at shooting it and we have decided it needs a bedding job. I also think i'd enjoy shooting it more if it was suppressed, and I have a spare 30 cal suppressor in my cupboard, but I think it would be a shame to chop the open sights to get it threaded.
First world problems, I know.
That sako is exactly the same as my youngest inherited from a deceased family member.
Even the same chambouring.
I have taken the liberty to shorten it to suppress it so lost the front sight but would rather honor it by been used than have it rusting in the rifle safe!
Funny thing I have only shot with original scope and rings and ifs not good.
I have put on some optis and a high-end scope to check soon.
If not grouping I will be in the same situation as you.
Did you have someone in mind for a bedding job?

My favorite sentences i like to hear are - I suppose so. and Send It!
Yes, well mine used to be owned by dannyb, and from reading his load development thread on this forum for the rifle it doesn't look like he got it shooting right either.
Passmore recommended sending it up to Jaco Goosen. I would likely get him to thread it for me at the same time.
A1 in 223. Had original 223 barrel on it when I bought it moons ago but had a bit of wear, so it got fitted with a stainless MAB 1:12 barrel & ODL can. Since photo, I've had it fluted.
Loves 52gr Targex.

My Sako AV Finnbear in 30-06. I put a DPT on it and it is a joy to shoot. With 180 grn SST it will easily do under .75 of MOA if I do my bit.
