I like my pair for all the hunting I'm likely to do. A commercial mauser actioned 7x57 with 24" barrel and a commercial mauser actioned 9.3x62 with 21" barrel. The 7 wears a Loopy 2.5x8 and the 9.3 wears a Loopy 4x. Of coarse they are both backed up with commericial mausers in 338 winny mag, 24" and the great 30-06 with 22" barrel. The beauty of it all, ANY of the four could likely do everything I need a rifle to do. It sure is nice to have choices. Now to decide on which two will go to Africa in 2011. I'm thinking the first pair. Les
