The Finnish firearms manufacturer is as well-known as\xa0Winchester\xa0or\xa0Remington, and for good reason. Sako is responsible for a great many popular designs and features nearly as old as\xa0bolt-action rifles. Today we are looking at one of Sako’s popular rifles from the more recent past: the\xa0Sako L579 Forester\xa0chambered in\xa0.243 Winchester.
There are various\xa0Model L579\xa0rifles on the market, but the one we are testing today is the Forester, featuring a heavy profile barrel in a varmint-like configuration. With a 23-inch heavy barrel, the Forester weighs in around the 9-pound mark. Not exactly a packing rifle, but most varmint rifles aren’t. | | |

Few people have the firearm experience that Ian has, and on this episode, we take advantage of his expertise to learn about the origins of Ian’s\xa0“Forgotten Weapons”\xa0channel. Alexander somehow keeps his composure around one of his favorite GunTubers, as Ian was a major inspiration for Alexander’s passion for\xa0historical\xa0and\xa0military\xa0firearms...\xa0WATCH NOW | |
