You know where one is sitting on a shelf?
shultz and larsen
No, but I'm sure Quentin will... He had a 6.5*55 barrel I think? Has a 6.5-284 barrel as well that you might be able to talk him out of...Quote:

How much do you want to spend - if you can do business with them a Mauser from Stager sports might be interesting.
How did the 9.3 dies go ??
I have a Sako 75 finnlight chambered in 6.5x47 Lapua in a Trueflight UM fluted barrel that I have yet to sell... done less than 200 rounds..

From what I saw online I considered the Sauer and Mauser to be of similar quality so until I can get my hands on one I will widen my net just in case:)Quote:

Not sure I consider a T3 or Zastava "nice" but thanks for the suggestion...Quote:

Shultz and Larsen every review you read they absolutely love them, I've handled Tahr's rifle and seen how well it shoots, I'd buy one in preference to anything else.
T3, go on you know you secretly want to
I'm so confused I may just grab one by mistake!Quote:

I have fondled a few and I like the feel of them myself
Remington made some in the Classic series and I think some mountain rifles as well, Winchester made them in the Featherweight series , there some of each of these rifles floating around NZ somewhere , Also Sako and Tikka
Could do a Winchester but not a Reminton or Tikka.
Sorta depends on what you mean by nice - "Rubens original or Playboy centrefold" ?? Just about all the factory rifles are in the "Playboy C/F" class to me, including the Sako's, just a mass produced rifle catering to the widest possible demographic.
Personally I don't get Blasers but at least they cater for what YOU want to a very large extent.
By my understanding the Zoli is just a Husky 1900 clone (and I think you've had one of those eh).
My current favorite factory rifle is the CZ - heres why:
Some of these are:
- A non-rotating claw type extractor, with a dovetail that binds it to the bolt, the other clones fail to copy this detail (except the Husky 1640) and it does result in failure to extract, that is why I no long have or would hunt with a pre 64 Winchester M70 or a BSA Hunter. CRF is a by-product of this extractor.
- Internal “C” ring, which gives the barrel something to butt to – apart from anything else it allows a very modest barrel reinforce, personally I don’t really buy any of the strength arguments re this feature
- Very rugged bolt stop, other clones tend to be less robust e.g. BSA and Husky, ejector likewise.
- Safety locks the sear – Model 70 excepted the other clones have various arrangements but none as direct and robust as the ZKK. This is a significant variation on the 98 on which the safety acts on the firing pin, but the ZKK is an excellent design (unless you are a “died in the wool” Model 70 sort of guy, by my observation folk from outside of the US tend to have a wider range of tastes on this issue)
- Bolt stripping is simple and easy
The 550/601/602 do have some issues (nothing is perfect):
- The Trigger is a right pain in the neck to tune if any adjustment is possible at all, or it is a single set design that is butt ugly for a start and even more difficult to tune. The 600/602 has the trigger pivoting on the bottom metal, its robust but less than idea and just adds to the trigger tune issues.
- The bolt handle is not optimised for low scope mounting, this is crazy as the integral dovetails beg for really low rings.
- The extractor collar is a pressing, and a poor one at that – however a 98 collar is an exact replacement and will improve the smoothness of the action
There are a few “improvements” on a 98
- True “double square bridge” action for very secure scope mounting
- A much shorter tang than a 98, allows flexibility in stocking for the grip area and is stiffer (if it makes any difference in hunting rifle accuracy I’d be surprised).
- The bottom bolt lug is not split for the ejector
Thanks for your thoughts Tentman.
I have never had a 1900, I have had a 1640 though and loved it. Very nice action. I think a Zoli will be at the Sika show so if someone can check it out for me:-)
I do like the lines of the 550 American, and I see now that H&F have them in their catalog... I wonder if they will stock them?
