I will agree, the price is TOO high, but it is a piece of history, and probably accurate to boot. I think it ought to be priced like the Swedish target Mausers, in the 600 range, as the sights themselves have collectability, in the 200 dollar range. The Finns are fine builders of firearms, from any era. Valmet, or Sako, which I own only 1, a .338 WM Finnbear, great rifle, smooth as butter and I have made 350 yard shots successfully 1st round 1 shot kill.
