Good looking rifle. Those French walnut stocks are nice. Let us know how it shoots.

Yea, I try to not like firearms made in other countries, but those BACOs that are being produced now sure are nice. Great wood and I bet it shoots as good as it looks.

Wow, that's gorgeous! The stainless and dark maple guns have had me drooling lately. I had a stainless .270 featherweight with amazing fiddleback in the wood, and like an idiot, I sold it. I wish I could track it back down. Let us know how it shoots (if you can bring yourself to take that beauty outside!)

I hear ya...some of the Portugal versions are fantastic looking as well. Never say never I guess. Nice rifle. Wow, that's gorgeous! The stainless and dark maple guns have had me drooling lately.

Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above. Don't fence me in.

I would use a 6x with the standard duplex reticle with a normal hunting bullet and go kill critters.

It will be bloodied at some point! Hope to get to the range this weekend. Can’t wait.

Gunner,a 3x9 would be a good choice for "thicket slipper."

Not a criticism of your rifle, but they need to put that trigger guard on a diet.

That’s a beauty. I’ve got one local to me with great wood on it that is very tempting.

Very nice, is this the new checkering pattern for SG’s? It is eye catching.
