The photo's are normally to big and you have to scowl all over to see them. Your's are a bit to small and I can't see them!

Just get the danged data off the side of the barrel and the import marking under it and an SN and we can tell. Don't need no pictures.
All them itty bitty stamps are just mfg and cert stuff to prove its been proofed per the European specs.

These are complicated guns as they were sourced as fully build rifles, barrel actions (someone put in a stock) and separate barrels and receivers and not necessarily did the receiver get a Sako barrel put on it.
A few came into the US as bought in Europe. The area I would need to see is on the left side under the front scope mount. There may be something under the front of the barrel label wise. With your SN there should be though Sako can be odd. Possibly on the left side in the front scope mount area All those little hashes and stamps are just proofing and inspection stuff that are not documented to any era or gun in particular. the 110/28 would need a picture of what part of the gun its on to know if its got relevancy. It should have something like AIII stamped in it, AIV, unlikely L61R and some reference to Bofers steel. You can PM me and I will get you my email if you want to send pictures

Thank you RC20. I will reach out with more detailed pics. As far as the 110428 with the sako stamp above it that is on the left side of barrel. I thought to be the serial number. Thanks again hopefully speak soon

Most curious. Most interesting.
SN for legal purposes is on the receiver. For a Sako it should read something like L61R (possibly AIII of AIV) and be on the left side of the receiver between the scope mounts. A built up gun might put it on the barrel. Will do a bit of sleuthing on that. Your receiver from what I can tell is Sako. A good picture of the bolt would clarify era. Possibly Garcia under the front barrel but I suspect not with this rifle.

Proof marks don't tell you anything about the model number. Berretta USA might be able to tell you by the serial number.
Or rummage around here. Dunno if the "manufacturing year of my old Sako rifle" will help or not. https://www.sako.fi/support/faq

Those are Belgian proof marks.
The action is a commercial '98 Mauser, almost certainly procured from FN by Sako before they tooled up for the long L61 receiver. |

Jim,
I took as close a look as I could and it seems clear its not a Sako action. It does resemble a Mauser but I am blowing it up a lot. Its missing the release button and looks like a lever more like a Model of 1917 (clearly not that of course even Sportarised one) Certainly no Sako detail on the left side where it should be, good spot. That puts it pre 1962? T: O Hair: The only info is the old records and those are spotty. You can make some guesses on Sako but its ball park. This does not look like a made Sako, assembled maybe. If I had to guess it looks like Garcia or latter but can 't see the details I need.

Runthe9:
As noted above, I think Jim nailed it. Kudos for him, not one I was familiar with. Sako Barrel installed on a Mauser action. Look at this link and blow up the picture at the barrel receiver area https://www.gunsamerica.com/94892112...er-in-30-0.htm While not a lot this is some more information on the history of that combo https://www.chuckhawks.com/sako_high-power_rifle.htm

JW looks to know the proof marks on Belgium really well.
I missed the receiver though when blown up I could see what he was talking about in it being a Mauser. Sometimes to run a search all you need is a clue. With what JW supplied I ran one on a Mauser Sako and got a number of hits and the one link was the solid one. Chuck Hawks also popped up and that gave some timeline and history. That was fun and interesting. Often these things are a collaboration where more than one person contributes a part. In my case I am more the Vixen and Finnbear era knowledge as that was my interest in the Family 270 Finnbear. JW clearly had a link into the Belgium end.
