Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Sako L46 Riihimaki chambered in .222 Remington is a beautifully crafted example of Finnish precision engineering and classic sporting rifle design. Originally produced in the postwar years, the L46 was Sako’s first small-action rifle built for civilian use, reflecting the company’s transition from military arms production to high-quality sporting firearms. This example features a 24-inch blued barrel, a hooded front sight with scope bases, and a finely shaped Monte Carlo stock. The walnut stock displays elegant skip-line checkering along with a contrasting pistol grip cap and forend tip, combining both function and refined style. Its smooth bolt action and the inherently accurate .222 Rem cartridge make it an excellent choice for precision shooting and varmint hunting.

Sako, established in the early 1920s to supply the Finnish defense forces, quickly gained an international reputation for exceptional craftsmanship. Civilian rifle production began in earnest with the L42 and evolved into the L46 Riihimaki—named after the city where it was produced. The L46’s combination of robust construction, superb fit and finish, and consistent accuracy helped establish Sako as one of the premier names in precision bolt-action rifles. Today, well-preserved examples such as this Riihimaki are prized by collectors and shooters alike, not only for their fine workmanship but also for their historical significance as the foundation of Sako’s long-standing legacy in high-grade sporting arms.
