I have not seen a blonde Swede before (OK I have seen a few but they were usually called Ulla or Gota or Pia)
Very nice rifles Douglas, how do they shoot?

they all shoot very well,
still to shoot the swedish one as i am told to try Vit N160, i only have N140 at the moment, and my usual dealer doesnt stock the N160.
will get there though in the end
