I didn't see my favorite listed, but it's the Swedish M96 mauser in 6.5x55. My first winter in Canada nearly made me stir crazy from the cold and the length of the season. I bought an old M96 and decided to restore it to pass the time. I made it an annual project for a few years, ending up with three. I'm amazed how accurate those old buggers are, and the recoil won't turn me into a spastic cripple. I think they are real sweethearts, but that's merely one man's opinion. Best wishes.
