Clark, that makes good sense as the x62 will of course do what the x57 will do, and a bit more. Recoil is noticeably heavier with the x62, and I've found the x57 very effective. Surely one of the best superlight carbine calibers ever cooked up. I'd like a 17-inch bbl carbine some time in it. Very light recoil for power level. I have a HVA 46 in 9.3x57 that runs 6 lbs {2.7 kgs} even with the long barrel. Very light and handy and I use that one almost exclusively for bear.

Your 146 is done up very nice indeed. Great remodel. Well done.

Here's my 146. Still in x57. I've made a bunch of modifications to it over the years, all basically to improve function for me.

Skitt jakt!
