Thinkin about getting a Hakim

Any thought on this rifle--I hear that they are very good shooters.

I got a nice Hakim last year, and I really like it. It took me awhile to figure out that it operates fine with a 196 gr. slug. Not so good with 157 gr. slug. I can hit better with it than I can with my Mausers, so I'm happy with it.

How much was yours? Do you fiddle around with that gas ajustment knob?

Big, powerful, loud, nasty looking rifles. Pretty accurate. I am not kidding about them being big.

Mine was priced at $385. A bit expensive, but a fine example. The gas adjustment was real hard to turn at first, but I got it freed up. I usually have to turn it 1 or 2 clicks when I change ammo.
