I bought the 7mm in a sealed bid auction in 2005 and have just gotten around to looking at it.

I bought the 8mm recently.

I'm glad to read it took you 17 years! Now I don't feel so bad about 12 years for some of mine.

I quite like these full wood style rifles. Unusual full wood 8n a non military bolt action.

Excepting the Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer stutzens full wood rifles of course and copies of them.

These rifles remind me of Harald Wolf's .458 Win Mag "Jungle Rifle". Similarly stocked from memory.

I wonder, are their practical advantages to a full wood to the muzzle stocked rifle?

One must be, especially for thinner barrels, some protection from bumps and bends. As in mountain hunting.

Any others?



Nice.
