For me personally, I'd want a 9.3x57.
Rusty-
You need to check out the hunting rifles section at the Sacro Inc web site!! They have Husqvarna '96s & '98s in 9.3x57 for a song ($200-$300)right now. They even have barreled actions. I've been going there and just looking at the pictures lately.
I know, I'm a little obsessive. But these things a beautiful!
The thing that lost me on that caliber was cost of dies and brass. If I were to buy one of those lovely hunting tools I'd do the '98 and have it rebored to 62mm, personally.
So many rifles, so little time... and money...
