    Been looking at getting a takedown rifle for quite a while, round visiting a mate whos a keen hunter and shooter,
    Got talking about takedowns, and I made the comment, "I really like a light weight double, in a medium bore,"
    well what know, Name: IMG_1596.JPG Views: 736 Size: 3.01 MBName: IMG_1600.JPG Views: 735 Size: 3.32 MBName: IMG_1599.JPG Views: 735 Size: 4.49 MBName: IMG_1603.JPG Views: 816 Size: 2.01 MBName: IMG_1604.JPG Views: 679 Size: 4.89 MBName: IMG_1606.JPG Views: 707 Size: 4.44 MB

    Fair Iside Safari, in 9.3x74, and 20ga, with Interchanagble chokes. super light weight 6lbs 1 oz with the rifle barrel, I've already been out to the range, and hammered 30 rounds with it, Brilliant handling rifle offhand, bit of a mule on the bench.
    Pd less than my Fair shotgun cost me, including rounds, brass and dies, and got a 1903 Mannlicher, fullstock Carbine in 6.5x54 MS, for an extra $500, Sweet rifle, too, been trying to pry it off him, for a couple years.
    Defiantly would been cheaper, to buy the Winchester takedown,

    That is something you don't see every day, I bet the recoil is stout in a 6pd unit!!

    You would think the upside down model would be cheaper.

    Pretty rifle in a great caliber. Did that submarine scope make it as top heavy as it looks though?
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
