Well, I just heard back from Miltech. My Arisaka rifle that I sent them earlier this year has been restored and is on its way back to me. I already have 100 rounds of 7.7mm Japanese so I can take it to the range next weekend and try it out. I will post some pics when I get a chance.
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned anything older like a Trapdoor Springfield. One person did mention the Krag-Jorgensen. Wasn't the world record Dall sheep taken in Colorado with a .30-40 Krag in 1899 (I believe the record still stands)?
Aren't there any fans out there of French military rifles? I have a MAS 36 and I think it is a nice, handy rifle. The only complaint I have is the lack of a safety, but other than that the rifle fires a capable cartridge, basically the equal of a .308.
