Make that "two" rifles. Schwing syndrome happening here - handled a Kimber SVT, and a Browning Buckmark rifle which has a titanium frame and carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel, with the multi-colored laminated wood (green, etc.). I'm drooling here, particularly over the Browning. Anyone got either?

Nope. I've admired the Kimber Super America grade, but what I'm really getting is a CZ-452 American...

Have you looked at the Thompson/Center .22

Yep, that Benchmark version T/C is also unbelievably cool. But I had already seen and handled a couple of them a few weeks back. The titanium Buckmark and SVT were new to me. I posted about the T/C here awhile back, and someone was having feeding problems, so I didn't get on at that time. You can find that thread with a search.
