Looks nice, bet it's expensive. The website states it's available in 7 x 64, 30-06, 8 X 57 and 9.3 X 62.

jneilson,
Do you mean the S 303? I have seen one in a large gun store in Texas during my business travels. My observations are not based on looking to buy but just handling the rifle due to curiosity. I was attracted to it because it looked so nice on the rack. The wood was beautifully grained, rich in color, nicely shaped, and the checkering very clean and fine in execution. The bluing was deep and very lustrous. The rifle had very nice balance, making it come to the shoulder well and giving it the illusion of being light. There were auxiliary iron sights also. The only odd thing, at least to my perception, was what seemed to be a slight radius on the side of the Picatinney type scope mount integral with the receiver. I would inquire from the manufacturer or importer if these accept standard US rings. I do not remember the exact price tag, but the amount was over $i,ooo.
