Thanks very much, Toivo. I've downloaded the manual and I'll be looking into this.
BTW, I screwed up--the proper designation of this rifle is FVT, not SVT.
I have a Savage Mk 1 SVT (in .22), which came as a single-shot. It's the one with the ugly plastic stock and the Williams front & rear aperture sights.
On the underside where the magazine well would be, there's a blank cover plate which has a spacer block to fill up the mag well that's molded...
Spydie Dragonfly Lightweight II—because it only weighs an ounce and a half. It rarely does anything but open packages. The handle ergonomics are amazing.
...on the Baikal IZH-60 (MP-60) Air Rifle
This is a low-velocity (<500 ft/sec) target rifle, spring-piston powered and configured as a side-cocker.

Single-shot vs repeater
My other air rifle is a Daisy 953, and it's convertible to function as either a single-shot or a repeater. When I...
I have a 953. I was shooting Daisy Precision-max pellets, and just couldn't get it to group as nicely as I wanted. Occasional flyers were an aggravation that I just came to expect. I wasn't thinking so much of a more accurate pellet, but rather a heavier one as a solution. I bought a tin of RWS...
Have you thought about an MSP (Multi-Stroke-Pneumatic)? Lots of accuracy and enough power for small critters, though iffy for something as big as a 'coon. Kookla mentioned one of the best; the Sheridan Blue Streak. I had one a long time ago and took out countless chipmunks at about 25 yds or...
Cute novelty, but I wouldn't want it. My pockets get chewed up enough already by my Dragonfly Lightweight II.
Then again, I could see that the edge maintains the same profile for its whole length ... that might be appealing to someone when they want to sharpen it.
Well, there's a little forensic aspect to this ... the main character is an alien boy whose mother (the basketmaker) died in childbirth. The knife is among the few possessions she had, and one of the human characters is looking at the knife. He recognizes it as being made for left-handed use and...
Ok, good, I can use that information.
Full disclosure: the knife in question doesn't exist in the real world (mine, at least). It's a prop in a SF story I'm writing, and the chisel grind is important to identify the handedness of its user, who is a basketmaker.
Thanks so much!
Wow, quick feedback. And that is counterintuitive, for certain.
I was thinking of a chisel grind as used on a wharncliffe/hawkbill blade shape for cutting rope or cord, or used for pruning small tree limbs--basketmaking. Would that be any good?
Just a quick question about chisel-ground blades. It seems to me that if the grind is on the right side, it would favor a right-handed user; left side grind for southpaws.
I thought of this when looking at the Razel on CRKT's site--they're all ground on the left side.

My EDC is a Spyderco Dragonfly II Lightweight. I got it to replace my Kershaw Scallion because the Spydy only weighs an ounce and a half, and I was tired of the Scallion dragging on me. Also, I wasn't happy with the Scallion's half-serrated blade; the transition point always got caught on...
