RE: Favorite weapon?
My favorite is my very first centerfire. Its a 1903 Steyr Mannlicher with rotary magazine in 7X57 mauser. Veryslim stock, express sights, still has the big ball military bolt handle... easy to work in the winter ...and still has the old military 3 position saftey at the aft of the bolt.
It is the smoothest bolt action I have ever worked and even with the iron sights I can still keep it on the center 4 inches of my target at 80 yards. Took my first deer with it and hope to use it on my last.
