Hello One And All.....
What do you guys want to see in the next iteration of the Lipsey's Hawkeye African? If they produce one that is.
I have the 6.5x55 they produced and it is the most accurate out-of-box rifle I have. Not to mention, in my opinion, the best looking rifle I own.
I would like to see the next one in the good ol' 30-06.

A lefty chambered in something that kills deer and readily available
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

I’d like a 30-06 with a 22 inch barrel. Or, a 338 win mag.

I think a 9.3X62 would be fun.

.358 Winchester. It sounds cool and in some States you can use it for deer hunting while anything smaller diameter can't be used.

If it's an odd-6 I'd be interested.

Nothing says Africa like the 280 Ackley.
Which means the next version will be a Creedmoor.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
