    Sako L57 Questions

    I just picked up a Sako L57 rifle. Serial number is in the mid 100's. The rifle had an HS stock and shilen barrel. Is this model of Sako known for decent accuracy? Are they well built? Any comments or concerns would be appreciated. Its chambered in 6mmx22-250. I picked it up pretty cheap
