I have never had a carbine that fit me so perfectly as the Husqvarna 456 and when I shoulder, it is looking at the target as an extension of me. No, the action isn't anywhere as smooth as my Mannlicher-Schoenauers but, it comes on target quicker and is lighter. I load the .30'06 to .300 Savage or .30-30 velocity, if not using cast bullets, for my close in hunting.

"there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser"
"the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
