Among the many Sako links on the Numrich web site are L46, L461 and Vixen. According to the noted expert Frank de Haas, in his four editions of "Bolt Action Rifles", The Sako models L46 and L461 were very similar in design. Furthermore, the Model name of "Vixen" was applied to both the L46 and its successor, the L461. This name has also been used for the Sako AI series, after Stoeger became the US importer. It is clear from the descriptions of many of the parts listed under the "Vixen" link that they apply to the model L46. For example, P/N 1173850 Trigger, Old Style, is listed under the link for L46. Furthermore, there are numerous parts listed under "Vixen" that are clearly not applicable to the L46, but which do not appear under the link for the L461. Finally, there are numerous parts under the "Vixen" link that could only apply to the L46, such as P/N 1175090 Safety Wing (Rotating Safety Type); P/N 1175350 Trigger Guard - For Detachable Magazine; and, 1175360 Trigger Guard, .22 Hornet - For Detachable Magazine. I am interested in any and all Sako parts for the L46, in both .22 Hornet and .222 Rem. Would you please provide a list of P/N from the "Vixen" link that are applicable to this particular Sako model?
