The top of the barrel is marked Cal .222. The action shows “Sako” and “Riihimaki” on the left side along with the serial number. The rifle does have a detachable magazine and the stock has a wide forend and sling swivels, if this helps. I hope someone can help me out with this. Thank you.

How many Remington L46 Riihimaki are there?
Dean: The last of the “first run” of L46’s was numbered around 57,000. But judging the date of manufacture (of the finished rifle) from the serial number is only very approximate. Sako didn’t always use their numbered receivers in order when finishing rifles, so a lower number can belong to a rifle which came from the factory somewhat later.
