Pre-64 Mod. 70s are about the fourth best hunting rifles produced since 1898 and can still be found at decent prices.

After owning and very extensively using many different rifles for more than 50 years in northern and western Canada, here is my rating.

1. Brno ZG-47...THE BEST

2.FN C-ring sporter

3. Brno 21H-outstanding, but, crappy safety

4. P-64 Mod. 70, I prefer Fwts and Alaskan .338s.

I know about Oberndorf sporters, have a very nice one, Mannlicher-Schoenaurs, had three mint examples and British *name* rifles, had one of those, too.

BUT, for real value and no-bullshit function under all conditions, the above is my choice....and there is not much to choose between them all.
