I think it's a BACO...  .. Still, not as good as the real thing..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

True,but about $600-700 less. Looks like I'm have to save some money and get the original.

I've looked at the new 338 Alaskan's and they are nice rifles. The 375 H&H that I looked at, not so much...It may have just been that one rifle because it was on clearance. The wood was plain jane and the fit wasn't all too good. Handling those really made me appreciate mine more, to tell you the truth..

Thanks BSA,gonna wait and get a Pre '64 Alaskan. Don't know which caliber,but most likely a .338 Win mag as the .375 H&H is a little on the steep side(it's worth it).
