yes good old mate in Gisborne has identical rifle ( except for scope) buts its in 6.5 MS and of course no ammo available - buts its a treasure - for sure I will never get my hands on it - just a pity it was not in 6.5x55 or 7x57 built like a swiss watch - there was one bad point - they were weak in the pistol grip as many an old hunter found in a fall
