I recently purchased a used Sako 75 Hunter from a local gun shop. I wanted to know if there is a way to determine the year of manufacture from the serial number? The gun appears to have minimal usage and I would like to know how old it is.

Try sending an email to Beretta/Sako, or call, they should have a way to answer.

I spoke to a Baretta rep today, sending him the serial number via email tomorrow. Should get my question answered then.

Thanks

Glad to help.
