I give up on the Drilling Search
« on: August 12, 2006, 01:41:19 AM »
I have looked everywhere for a Drilling 16x16 in mid sized mainstream caliber.  I just cant find one that  is reasonably priced (approx. $3,000) in a decent caliber.  I very rarely say this but "I give up on trying to find a driliing"...  ???

I am looking at a Valmet 412 Shooting System if the price is reasonable I will purchase that.  If not im back to the venerable Baikal/Spartan combo IZH-94/Spr94 in 12 ga/223.  And I will stick with the 16ga SXS for bird hunting.

I jumped on the Sempert & Krieghoff Neptune, but it was gone.  That was a hot one.  :o

Oh woo is me...  ;D
