M558 02-01-89 through 01-29-91 http://www.sako.fi/pdf/datatables/SakoOldmodelsNumbering.pdf
More info here may or may not help on why they went to the 595: http://www.pmulcahy.com/bolt-action_sporting_rifles/finnish_ba_spr-tikka.htm
It's a Tikka, so it shoots!

The 58 series was the first Sako version of a Tikka. It had the sleeved bolt and a problematic magazine catch. I've not heard many bad things about them over the years. Just not the most plentiful of Tikkas out there. They became the 90 series which then became economy version when the 95 series came out.
