Thread: Need some suggestions fella on a special gift/family heirloom firearm...what would yo

The sako Bavarian is a beautiful rifle but it is quite a safe queen
It might just be me but If it was to be used and passed down to my kids etc and them use it
Wouldn’t a stainless barrel action be a better long lasting option?
Don’t get me wrong you can’t beat the walnut blued look but just thinking practically.
I would be scared to use it.
Really depends if it is just intended to be a safe queen with a bit of use or a rifle that he takes everywhere and shoots everything with it in any kind of weather etc
Just another angle to look at it
