I saw a Savage Palma rifle for sale in the PX last year. I had a "omg!" moment and had to resist pulling out the gold card to take it home with me. I'm going to try to stick with the traditional High Power course of fire to hone my wind reading skills before moving on to something like Palma or F Class.

You know it is crazy, but I think about the sport of High Power Match Rifle 50 years ago, and folks competing with customized 30-06's or 308 bolt action rifles on M70 actions and somehow it seems more impressive the ones that made it to High Master. I think if I were going to go the bolt action match rifle route in that era I would have chosen a lighter recoiling cartridge like the 6.5 Swede (which was dominating the 300 meter Free Rifle competitions until the 168 SMK was released).
