[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 543759, member: 25383"] I'm a mechanical engineer, and a machine builder as well. When I look at just about anything, I start to take it apart in my head. Samething with a rifle, but I look at the basic design concept. Then I'll look at the way the item cycles (be a CNC lathe or a rifle). The "99" series of rifles as well as the Sako Finnwulf still to this very day command respect amonst their peers. The advent of the "99" made everyother lever gun into a clunker, and things have not changed much in 100 years or so. With regards to bolt guns in particular, how can one say a Remington, Winchester, or a Savage is pretty? Face it they are OK, but nothing pretty about them! Ruger does a better job blueing (along with Weatherby). Style wise it's hard to beat the looks of a Weatherby or a Styre (sp). But looks does not always mean it's a great design concept. I think most folks confuse functionality with looks, thinking looks is the only thing that matters. That be the case then all of you shoot clunkers compaired to my Lo-Wall in .223! The fit and finish is better than most cars! But I also know that little .223 won't shoot with the big boys. Truth be known, you could make a Savage or a Remingtion look very nice with a custom bolt shroud and a mirror like finish on the metal. Seriously after a coyote hunt in a drainage ditch with sleet & snow comming down; none of the rifles are pretty! Usually have mud and crud on them, but still function quite well. gary [/QUOTE]
