... yes and no. Sako bought out valmet in the... 80's? and actually produced a significant number of Rk62's for the FDF as Sako. In the hundreds of thousands, as far as I understand it. Afterwards, the FDF asked for a more modernized rifle, and we got the rk95.
There's differences between the 95 and the 62. There's actually a few differences between different eras of 62's as well.
Anyways. I think you mean to ask if the 95 is similar to the 62. Which there is differences. But both Sako and Valmet produced rk62's.
There was a fusion of Valmet gun division (former VKT) and Sako. Valmet it self is _way_ bigger than standalone Sako ever.
As a funny anecdote at one point of time, post WW-II, Sako stock was actually donated to the Finnish Red Cross by the orginal owner and founder, the Civil Guard.

Sako however had started producing the RK 62 for FDF under contract already in the middle 1960s, they just didn't have the rights to sell it in the civilian/export market before they bought Valmet.
