Hi Jeff,
I had not considered the Biakl, as I have not seen any here in Alasla, and I would prefer to look the gun over before I put down money. I'll look into Balal and see if there are any in the gun shops I visit in Anchorage.
Our local club range (Snow Shoe Gun Club) is not too far from my home, and I have seen some beautiful European single shots come throgh and fired for group, before flying out to hunting base camps. I have even fired a few. Those engraved beauties, are WAY BEYOND my retirement pay, but I sure do like them.
Thank you for the Biakal and H&R suggestions. I'll consider both of them.

I do appreciate you posting the photos of your rifle. Thank you. Gordon
