Re: 8x75RS revisited

Interesting about the modern Brownings. I have no experience with them so I wasn't aware of that, only the originals which aren't too uncommon around here {a friend has 5 or 6 of them in calibers ranging from .303 to .30-40, .30-06 and .38-72, etc. but no 7.62x53R as that chambering, though it was the most common 95 chambering, is very uncommon in the USA!!

I think you are referring to the Winchester 88?

And yes, your Pystykorva and Ukko-Pekka are VERY accurate rifles. I used to own a fairly extensive collection of them. I sold them all some years ago, but they were indeed very finely built and accurate rifles. I shot a bear with one {in military configuration}. Accurate indeed, but heavy! I vowed never to chase bear hounds up and down the mountains while carrying one again! You Finns are better men than me!
