This push feed rifle features a tapered dovetail for mounting purpose, with the wide part in the front and narrow part in the back. Introduced by Sako in 1961 for long cartridge shooting, the Finnbear quickly developed a reputation as one of the finest production rifles ever made. Another novelty presented by Sako in 2020 was a brand new, lead-free Sako Powerhead bullet. In 2020, Sako introduced S20, the first truly hybrid rifle, designed for both hunters and tactical shooters. In 2006, Sako celebrated its 85th anniversary by launching a new hunting rifle family, Sako 85.
The company has changed multiple owners since 1921, but has ultimately been sold to Italian Beretta Holding in 2000. The production of military and law enforcement weapons started when Finnish defence forces ordered assault rifles and cartridges from Sako. In the 1980s, Sako merged with another firearm manufacturer, Tikkakoski and gained a valuable rifle line called Tikka. Due to this investment, domestic sales increased along with export to the USA and the rest of the world. The first civilian rifle bearing the name Sako, was the L42, prototyped in 1942 and commercially manufactured a few years later.Īfter the World War II, domestic hunting culture thrived and Sako invested in development of hunting rifles. The workshop grew into a weapons factory, which produced hunting rifles as well as cartridges and moved its headquarters from Helsinki to Riihimäki. It was founded in 1921, after the rifle repair workshop, opened in former Helsinki brewery, became independent of the civil guard. ammo in 22lr, 9mm (prefer 124gr), 223, 300blk (supers), 7.62x39, 6.Sako (Suojeluskuntain Ase- ja Konepaja Oy) is rifle and ammunition manufacturer located in Riihimäki, Finland.
