I've been bidding on and losing M28's on gunbroker for a while now. I put a bid on this one, and fully expected it to go for more than my bid. To my surprise, it didn't and I got it for $770. I don't think its a bad deal, considering most M39's on these have been going for $800-$1000 these days. Its got a Tikka produced barrel and is "SY" marked, and also made on a Remington receiver. The bore looks brand new, though I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet. Anyway, on to the photos:

According to indices I have gathered, this is one of the rifles that once belonged to Luumäki Civil Guard at Viipuri Civil Guard District.

That is a nice M28. Mine is nice, but not anything like yours.
