Hi,

I collect Sako's and this looks like a Sako built on a FN action from the 1950's. These only came in one model called the M98. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAKO

I've never seen a Sako stock of this configuration.

If the stock is authentic I reckon the value could range between R12,000 - R16,000. I know standard rifles in the M98 configuration sell for R8,000.

Regarding the price of new Sako's.... these are in my view distorted since the change of imported has resulted in prices jumping from R14,000 to R24,000 and is no indication of the price of used Sako's.... which unfortunately have a lively demand but don't easily fetch prices in excess of R14,000. I have 3 highly collectable Sako's that were all bought recently for under R14,000.
