Hello from Norway everyone! I too dream to see the elephant, and smell the smoke of africa! Thus I need a tool for the job! This is a bit further down the pipeline, yet I would like to buy a rifle quite a bit in advance and get to know it, its shooting characteristics etc. Now, I AM on a budget. Additionally, Im left-handed. So the selection of available left-hand rifles are close to zero... Here in Norway the amount of rifles found in scandinavia and germany/france combined is in the two digits, whereas you would be lucky to find a single left-handed weapon..so I am forced to look the the US. At the gunsinternational site I found one within my budget who seems decent. http://www.gunsinternational.com/J-P-Smi...un_id=100218962 Caliber seems adequate, left-hand, nice bolt-action... however, Im not familiar with the "This rifle was built on a Harris Gunworks action". Seeing as the weapon is quite alot cheaper than other smithson rifles, is this a inferior action? Or is this rifle simply "modified" a bit by smithson? I would still need it exported from the U.S to Norway with a 24% import tax and some export taxes probably in the region of 500-800 dollars, hence my budget... Thanks in advance for any advice and reflections on this rifle! Regards, Axel Nikolai Norway |
