[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 1826079, member: 108926"] This may be the wrong forum to be asking that question here, but it's nice to see.it seems more people these days would rather sit on they're behind and snipe at something from half a mile away rather than really hunt, I'm not trying to pick a fight as I have rifles that will do that, but at the end of a day id rather be a little quicker on the draw than anything else, for me a light handy carbine will fill the freezer with more game than a 9 to 12 pound cross country cannon buster, the mannilcher fills that bill, i find that most of those that don't care for them have handled let alone shot of hunted with one, I fell in love with the sako mannlicher at the tender age of 9 or 10 years that was sometime in 1968, when a friend of dad's stopped by to show off his newest member of the family, I fell in love, then in the 70's there was outdoor writer John wotters owner of the world's best known sako, love turned to lust i had to have one, as it turned out it ended up being 6 that I call mine, a ruger 10/22 international, a ruger number 1 in 243 that shot so well I chambered it to 6MM Ackley it will launch a 95grain partition out of its 20 inch tube at over 3300 fps, ruger tang safety 77 in 6MM rem, a FN mauser in 338 Win, and round out the line up a pair of sakos vixen mannlichers the first i rebarreled to 17 Rem the other in 222 mag, I love them all, but the one I have the most fun with is the 17, if I had to keep but one it would be that 17, [/QUOTE]
