I am told my Ithaca LSA-55 is a derivative of Sako or Tikka, the barrel is stamped Bofors steel made in Finland,Does anyone have info on this.Its a .243, light sporter and shoots very well. Under 1" at 100yds.Soon as the deer season is over here in southwest Washington I'll be trying for my first yote,cause I'm a newby,ha ha ha. I can hardly wait. Outstanding site and forum,the wife thinks I'm goofy. Oh well!
