    Is your favorite rifle custom made or factory made ? I have a close tie

    CA Ridgeline 7-08, number two is CZ 527 in 6.5 Grendel. So, factory. I've been scared to rely on someone to build exactly what I want, instead of what they think I should have. And the two years of waiting!

    short vs long mag

    Shooting with Waffen Krauser - Munchen double rifle

    Maybe look into a 1-8x40 leupold, or others. Duplex, or Firefox duplex. Magnificent craftsmanship on the double gun. Beautiful.
