Sako Carbine caliber ?

Looked long at the 416 Rigby but opted for both the 404 and 450 400 from Heym. Both Rigby and Heym are beautiful rifles. The Heym 404J finish was more subdued which fit more to my idea of a rifle on the hunt.

yes, Dallas summer heat, 450/400 factory Hornady Heym 89b 2025 avg. High 2055

I found my Woodleigh manual at Midway a few years back. I loaded the 310 in a mauser and shot a bison in NE one hit on the shoulder. Dead when it hit the ground at about 75' on the run.
