Thoughts on L579 single shot
Have an opportunity to pick up a Sako L579 single shot action . Guessed it would originally have been a 6PPC but apparently they were built on a single shot L461 . From memory they were a pretty hot shooter for a factory gun .
Interested in comments on the action as a basis for a .220 Swift Varminter . Probably about half the cost of a new top brand single shot .


The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.

Bushchook,
I have a L461 single shot with a Douglas Premium barrel in .222 that thinks it's a benchrest rifle. I'd say go for it, either that or tell me where it's at(grin).

Found out this morning that it was a converted repeater . Not interested .
