What can you tell me about the 61R model ? Serial number on my 61R is 76963, I`m guessing early `70s ? Would I be wrong to value it at $1,000 or better. 1964 was also the last year that our coinage contained 90% silver. After 64 they were looking to make parts out of stamped metal and plastic. Remember the pre '64 Winchesters? Prior to 64 most Winchester parts were forged and machined. It's the same old story just a new version. The current line of Sakos runs in the $2000.00 range and you can find a older rifle like the one I just purchased at 1/2 the price with the same or better performance. So now the Germans will be making binoculars for a US-based company owned by Italians. Current companies owned by Beretta Holdings include: Beretta, Benelli, Burris, Franchi, Meccanica Del Sarca, Sako, Stoeger, Tikka, Uberti Replicas and now Steiner. Beretta’s companies offer a vast range of products, with optic devices representing an increasingly important component.

Once an outfit like Beretta takes over it becomes a automated operation. Then in 1982 the evil empire took over and all the beauty and workmanship went in the Dumpster. :(.Paul Hįrom the mid 50's until 1982 I agree. Not like a lot of machine made American guns. I always liked the fit & finish on Sako rifles.
