This is a very attractive rifle with some very nice custom features in an outstanding and increasingly popular caliber. It is suitable for all North American game and all but Africa's dangerous game although historically it has accounted for much dangerous game. The double square bridged Brno ZG-47 action is considered by many, myself included, to be the finest Mauser action ever produced, albeit in small numbers. Only approximately 20,000 of these actions were made. This gun remains new from the maker.
