A recipe to go with it - Saddle of Vineyard Hare with Liver Terrine .

Though Orion's wife is said to have another wonderful one.

Orion

Lovely rifle. I have one in 270 Win Mag which I bought a couple of years back, in excellent condition. Would love a 6.5x54 in one though and have been looking for one for a while now.

MLG

Orion's Mannlicher took some things much bigger than hare's in the last few weeks. Hopefully he will tell us about it when I get the photos up.

I look forward to reading about it! Its a great caliber in the right hands with killing power well beyond what one would normally expect of a 6.5mm.
