That is a bolt from a Paker-Hale rifle, I have one just like it.

The more I look at it the more I am certain it's from a BSA CF 2, the small brass protrusin at the top of the bolt shroud is a cocking indicator, if it is a BSA there should be no knurling around the tear drop on the bolt knob, I think the Sako had a rolled knurl

I've got one of those BSA's, well actually mine is a Herters brand BSA, but same thing and I'd have to say that was my first inclination as well. As to the caliber it came out of God only knows especially with no bolt face dims.
