Egyptian Hakim...

Conceptually I like them a lot. A Ljungman but in 8x57.
Never fired one, just seen one in a collection when I was picking up my P14 a few months back.
They seem to be good rifles and, if I weren't that allergic to semiauto (with the exception of a StG58 which I'll pick up in a couple weeks), I'd buy it.

I completely understand... Outside of my one Garand that I don't shoot much, all my milsurp rifles are bolt action. There's just something about them. That said, there's something about Hakim and the Ljungman that appeal to me.
