She came to me with a five-round magazine and I managed to find three additional ones from other sources magazines are always a potential issue with out-of-production rifles, so I preferred to get some spare ones from start. This pretty little stutzen was sold unscopped and Igorrock sourced in Finland original Sako steel scope mounts, specifically engineered for the tronconic shape of the rifle’s rail, an oddity. With regards to a rifle scope, I had nothing on shelf that would have matched with the L46 my available scopes in 26 mm (central tube) were either too long in size (and I would have had to remove the rear sight, as it is often the case with this rifle) or not powerful enough in magnification (I did not want to fit a X4 scope for engaging fox-sized targets at 100/200m). I spotted in Germany a second-hand Khales Super 3-9x38 dating back to the early 1960’s Forum member Lancaster agreed to purchase it for me as – again, the seller did not want to sell abroad. ![]() This vintage Khales scope was unfortunately too long by circa 5 mm/0,2in when I mounted it and I could not close the bolt easily I decided therefore to scope the L46 with a brand-new Swarovski Habicht Nova 4x32 that I had in stock at home. ![]() I test-shot the rifle last week with both RWS Soft Point 50gr and Sako Gamehead Soft Point 55gr same good results at 100m/110y, 3 shots in 2cm/0,78in.
