Already found one and damn...the nice ones are a bit spendy but still a great deal considering what US era military bolt actions go for.

Sako 1944 M39 built on an 1895 action...octagonal receiver and all matching numbers with 100% original blue and an arms room tag (In Finn) still attached.
Beautiful stock and like new bore. This from pics.
Seller is shipping to door as with the 1895 stamp (even with the 1944) it can be sold as an antique so no paperwork. Nice.

The M39's are/were re barreled by SAKO when built and the barrels stamped with the receiver SN...they are a bit oversized from the stock Russian and many slug out at .3100 to .311...they did this so they could shoot all Soviet ammo to include MG which tended to be a less controlled diameter round.

There are copper clads out there in those diameters but am interested in what you guys are shooting....I will load my own btw so have brass rounds enroute.
