For some reason, I love the 8x57 and the 8x60 even more... But the 8x63? Well, I had an 8x63A.I. for a short while... And that cured me of that desire. It was an evil-kicking machine. Every standard 8x63 (8mm-06) has treated me the same way...

Speaking of the M-78... I have one that some former owner converted to 9x57... grin

Glad to see you back Ed, missed your insight there for awhile during your sabbatical. I remember your 9x57. Think you killed a buck with it a couple years ago if I remember correctly. I have a Martini in 9x57R and killed a doe with it year before last. Getting proper bullets for the "9mms" can be a bit of a bugger!
