Get an XL7. They haven't said a bad word about them in the mags. Really accurate and reliable. And they are cheap. I like the way they look to
. Can't go wrong with the 30-06 or .270.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Can you get a good deal on a Steyr there in Germany? If so, you ought to buy one. Great rifles.

the exchange rate is what determines the deals usually. right now its teetering on shi*&y. what i'm hoping to get is a drilling. its a side by side shotgun with a rifle barrel splitting the bottom of them. hoping for 16 guages over a 7x57.

I just thought the Steyr rifles might be cheaper in Germany since they're built right next door in Austria.
