One of these
I shot a few rabbits with it before the owner took it of me
Sako L46 22 Hornet Manlicker
It is a rifle of my dreams
But not my wallet maybe if I talk nice to the owner he might let me shoot it again
The two rabbits I shot were at 100 and the second at around 181
So for a 72 year oldrifle it still works

Hey Johno I don't know about you but I got at least another year to go to even think about being a old boy.

a couple of yrs ago,dad had a very nice sporterized [slightly] 303 converted to a 243.
that was a real nice rifle,reminded me of a JC in its looks.
the bugga took it to a gunshop in beresfield with a couple of others he wanted to sell.[on consignment]
he never got a call from them and never got paid for them,he all but forgot about em till last yr when i was down.
he doesnt know what to do about it now,he figures its been to long and has written the rifles off.

Theres a cheap one on used guns. They must be pretty common.
