All that forged steel and cunning machine work just winds my clock. What fresh Hell is this?

CKW Campfire Regular C Joined: May 2010 Posts: 723 Entering dotage	Currently I own only 8 centerfire rifles. All but one is a Mauser or close derivative. (e.g. mini-Mauser, CZ550). So I guess my preference is MAUSER!

That is where Sako still leaves all the others behind. If the OP was only interested in 1 single rifle, I guess Sako would still be a consideration, and that would open up the potential for a Kimber Montana. If not my third vote is the same as the first 2...Sako
