Hay guys
Thinking about getting my self a nice rifle for my Birthday next May.
Thinking something a little different from the normal and a classic design.
Attachment 54977
Montana Rifle Company » AVR – AMERICAN VANTAGE RIFLE
Been looking at a few coopers as well
Jackson Game
Varminter
Is there an importer for the cooper rifles?
I am preddy open to suggestions just tire kicking at this stage
Cheers
Shane
Weatherby Mark V pref the accumark(stainless barrel B and c stock). As to calibre choice? Well I'd have to choose either a Weatherby magnum or something that can be used regularly but with some class like the humble 30-06.
There is/was a Sako black bear in 9.3x62 on trademe, $3000 ish
nah after something a bit nicer then a weatherby :)Quote:

Browning Maral - I see there's a few pics of these being used by forum members on here.

Essentially just a fancy mauser, under the same ownership as Mauser and blaser.
Now we are getting some where....!!Quote:

Sako Brown bear would be hard to beat.
2nd hand might not be a bad option. Might give him a bell.Quote:

Mark 5 not good enough for ya aye? The strongest production bolt action made not good enough? Okie dokie maybe I'm slightly biased because I own 2 vanguards.Quote:

As you can tell . 1) I'm not butt hurt lol and 2) just throwing ideas for ya. Just curiosity here but what calibres are you considering?

Have a price coming on a Mauser M03 Africa :)
Looking at sako Brown bear hopefully at the sika show
Looking for a classic rifle to hold on to for now :)
Got it covered from .22 - 338 edge so far and i have had a cz 375h&h so thinking 416+ and nicer rifle.
I like ideas i hadnt thought of thses too when i started my looking
Ok you've made me go to my wish list now and maybe I'm biased in this selection as they treat lefties on the same basis as everyone else - so maybe it's the egalitarian card but what about a high grade Shultz and Larsen victory then?
That'll really piss off the Sako buffs and you can play the eurotrash card too over the faux-miroku Browning crowd. Winner winner chicken dinner!!!
Schultz & Larsen
Now that it very nice, most definitely on the listQuote:
