I would anybody know if a sako vixen stock would fit a L461 action? cheers dave.

A1 and L461 are interchangeable.

hi is the a1 action the same as the vixen action?

Sako have used several classifications-check with Sako's own listings.

The action sizes run like AI;AII;AIII;A IV.....

There are also L461 (the 222 -PPC size) and L579 (243 etc) and long action..

Then there are the generic labels,like Vixen (for the AI and L461);Forrester (for L579 and AII) and Finnbear for the long actions...(sort of short,medium,long actions...)

And of course the later models,75 then 85 (in the A series action sizes,but no generic names) and not forgetting some earlier others like 491...(AI/L461 222 size).

 

Sometimes the labels are carelessly used by users/sellers etc

 

So does an AI action fit a vixen stock -probably,I'd be more confident if it was clearly a L461 Vixen rifle...(17,222,223,PPCs) and you might need to consider varmint barrel v sporter too....

 

Just needs some care,really-and trial fitting if possible. Worth the effort,fine rifles.
