Thanks for the reply's everyone. My gunsmith and I sat down, broke open a bottle of Shiraz and started hashing out my fullstock Adirondack Mountain Rifle. By the time we were done (both with the bottle and the rifle decisions) I had decided to go with the 9.3X62 Mauser. I also learned I don't like Shiraz

. Oh well at least one thing went right. I appreciate everyone's input and will be posting some pics in (sigh) several looooong months. Thanks again...RW
