well, 6 1/4 - 6 1/2 and add a scope and mounts and you are at 7 1/2 or more.
thats why I am debating the 9.3 vs the 8x57 JR
decision, decisions.

this is my end of tour/end of deployments rifle. I have done 5 deployments for the US Army in combat and I am almost but not quite ready to retire (they will have to kick me out) so i am treating myslef to a new Chapuis DR. I had to sell my previous 9.3 Chapuis for one of my daughters college tuition about 14 years ago. so now its time to splurge.
