    Since this is a German made rifle, why is it not in a European calibre like 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser? That would make more sense? Or 7x57 or 8x57. WTF is a USA clone being built buy a German craftsman?...

    I've started training Rosie on pheasant hunting. I thought I would start by getting her to read this Rod & Gun article. 259029 It takes her a long time to read one page!
