That is a great hog! Looks like you are ready for a hog roast. Impressive performance too from a good looking rifle. Very nice work on both accounts. I am curious about the 8x50 barrel, since I rebarreled my 8x56R Styer to 445 SM, I wish I had shot it in it's original caliber. I got rid of the barrel a while ago. Ever thought of doing another handi in 8x56R? Finding .329 bullets would be kinda of a pain, but PrivPart makes loaded ammo and milsurp is available at the gun shows. That would be truly unique and you could get a M95 as your back up bolt gun...

I got a package from Wayne York today.  :D  The mauser barreled action was sitting on counter when I got home this evening from work. I had enough daylight left to throw a stock on it, a scope, and staple up a target on my 50 yard range at home and took out three different rounds that previously would not chamber. All of them chambered and all went boom.  ;D  I even managed to put two of them on paper off hand. I hope to get out either this weekend or next for some serious shooting at our range. I am taking out the 445 SM too. I can't wait. :)
