As to year of manufacture, the preceeding L57 used serial numbers running up through the mid-10,000's and was produced from 1957-1959, at which point Sako switched over to the successor L579 and continued the SN sequence. Since yours is approximately 6,000 into the L579 run, I would guess it to be late 1960 or 1961, but considering how Sako would sometimes skip around by finishing rifles on actions out of sequence, it might have left the factory as late as 1962.

Stamp change to the 'A' designation was started with serial # 327116 in the late 70's. Padrino, This afternoon I was helping a friend sight in several of his Sakos. He has a standard grade.243 about the age of your deluxe.
