Sako Forester
 

Hey all.
Today I inherited a new rifle. My dad gave it to me for XMas, and my grandfather had given it to him. It's a Sako Forester in .243. Beautiful riflle, but I don't know much about the company (other than that they're Finnish). It's got a 2-7 scope on it, that my dad says is "way off."
Any interesting points or general info I should know about this rifle, company, or model? I'm about to go do a google search for the manual and one for the scope.

One of the few truly superb rifles, "right out of the box "in the world today.

You're lucky to get it.

Thanks, guys.
The more I read about the rifle, the more I realize how awesome that something like this is still in my family. The SN appears to be from sometime in the mid-60s, and the Mannlicher stock makes it even more interesting.

Sako makes fantastic rifles. Great barrels. Known for superb accuracy and craftsmanship. It makes a great heirloom rifle. Great rifle to keep in the family for generations.
