Talked about my sickness with guns a couple weeks ago, well, I went through with it today. The nice folks at Europtics had a Sako 85 Bavarian Carbine (full length wood stock) with beautiful wood in the 6.5X55 Swede, (no .260's for a year). Staying with the European look, I went with the new Nightforce SHV 2-10X42, IHR reticle. Ha Ha Order for dies, brass, yada, yada in to Midway. Should be hear next week, I'll send pics, and a range report, probably not in time for Opening day. Stay tuned

Color me jealous, sounds like a very nice rig.
Always wanted a full length stock and I would rather have a 6.5x55 than a 260, just personal preference. Must post pics

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I want a 6.5X55 Swede very badly. 'Have a couple of Mannlicher stocks, .338 and 7X57. Sako also makes some lefties, but I think they leave the safety on the right, at least that's the way the .338 is.
Looking forward to the pictures also.
