222 Rem Mag and guess where it directed me?….right back to the campfire. I thought I would use Duck Duck Go to check the date of manufacture on my Sako L461 in. More to come, must post before browser dumps it. Based on Sako's records 77,234 L461 rifles were made between late 1962 and the end of 1973, averaging 7023 per year. In the case of my Sako Vixen l461 222 Remington Magnum Heavy Barrel, serial number 104911 it would seem to fall between 1969-1973. Serial Number History of Sako Rifles, Beretta, 11/ 18/ 05 Realizing this is not new territory, thought I'd compile information here.


When researching serial numbers vs caliber vs date of manufacture, I'm finding several inconsistencies.
