I like your Sako model 85 Bavarian Carbine. Again, very nice. A short while ago, I picked up a 'similar' Sako Carbine with full length wood. Mine has a model designation on the barrel classifying it as a model A III and in 270 Win. It's not quite as nice as yours and the stock is slightly different, so I wouldn't call it a 'Bavarian' but it does have that basic 'Mannlicher' appearance.

There are some types of guns I prefer finished with plastic and parkerising, but some should definitely be blued steel with oiled wood, and the latter are better looking and nicer to hold.

I have only one 'plastic', a Ruger 10/22 for Gopher shooting in AB. One laminate, two stainless and all the rest are 'decent' wood and blued steel. One of my favorites is a model 4000 Husqvarna light weight in 30-06 that I inherited when my Dad passed away.

Thanks guy but there's definately nothing shabby about your picture.

I used the '06 on my 1st Mule Deer hunt on draw in AB, with my Daughter and Son In Law.
