What a nice rifle.

And in .264 Norsk caliber, too. That really put me over the edge...

You mention the rifle is large and I guess it would be 70 action and all. But...

What a killer. Gotta be zero recoil. My old ski rifle is a Ruger 77 in 6.5x55 {one of my three M77's in 6.5x55} and tho a bit heavy, the thing kicks like a .223 and kills like a .35 Whelen. You can practically fire it with the butt pressed against your chin.

Those that have never hunted with the 6.5x55 probably don't get it, but to a man every newbie to the round that tries it on game is hooked. GREAT choice.

Thanks for posting. Beautiful, serviceable, USEFUL rifle!
