Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

This is my Parker Hale Safari deluxe. Nothing as flash as some previous but I still love it.Used to sit in the library at school a long time ago( really long time actually) drooling over hunting books mentioning Sakos , Parker hales etc. saw this in a shop many years ago and bought it.
Stripped back the stock ,True oiled, fitted a pad as the old one was perished from sitting in someone’s cupboard for may years. Bluing is original and the only scuffs it has are ones Ive put on it. If I only had one gun it would be this .



Please excuse photo attachment, my first go at it.

Very nice what calibre ?

Sorry Erniec , 308 . Shoots Sako Gamehead 1 inch at a hundred . Quite light compared to My Bergara extreme hunter , which is “chunky”.

Been looking for one of these for a few years now. Managed to pick it up today.
Sako Finnwolf 308 with 2-7 Leupold. Not the prettiest but a bit of a project.

Nice one. All sorts of lovely bits of kit on this thread but also you come across rifles you never knew about. Didn’t realise that Sako produced a lever action. Interesting, thanks.
