USE A CUSTOM RIFLE built for me by Manterri, who designed the Manterri<br />
I trigger on the "Lion" commercial smallbore free rifle. My own gun is built<br />
around a 6.5 mm Jap Arisaka bolt, which allows the gunsmith the chance to do some<br />
careful regulation of firing pin fall for crispness and fast action. The custom receiver<br />
is flat sided, very heavy, for stiffness and consequently accuracy. The barrel, made<br />
by the large factory of Sako in Riihimaki, is in 7.62 caliber, the same as the old<br />
Russian rimmed service cartridge. I use a 185 grain step boattail bullet for 300 meter<br />
shooting, and with this gun fired fourth in the Olympic matches.<br />
MY<br />
FAVORITE<br />
GUN<br />

Y FAVORITE gun<br />
M is my Weatherby<br />
.300 magnum, which I<br />
used this past year for<br />
hunting elk. I fired it<br />
only once after sighting in<br />
-the shot that killed the<br />
elk. I was very impressed<br />
with its killing power and<br />
the flat trajectory. I hit<br />
my elk in the neck as he<br />
was running away, and the<br />
best part of him is in the<br />
freezer. This is the first<br />
rifle I ever had made to<br />
order to fit me, and it is<br />
one luxury I think every<br />
hunter should try to allow<br />
himself.
