Well, I haven't bit on a new production rifle in a while (last was a S2 Blaser). In fact most of my battery is a lot older than I am - which means old! But this is the coolest rifle that I have had in a while. It is compact, super accurate, and is a weird mix of traditional and modern attributes (great wood and satin blue, barrel band swivel along with high viz open sights and barrel flutes. Went ahead and bought the '06 as a general purpose rifle - but it can also be had in 9.3x62.
