No idea if it's imported into the US, but I have handled the regular model in 30-06 and it is promising. One in 6.5x55 SE with express sights, shortened threaded barrel, etc would be pretty ideal.

I could use one in 308 and one in 9.3x62.

I was going to say make mine 8x57 (duh), but then I actually went to the link and was disappoint. No mechanical relation to the classics except the name.

A fair bit more scratch, but classy!

The wood stocked version sure is classy looking. It would look awesome laying across ones knees sitting on the side of a mountain somewhere.

Today I ran across what was probably an old timers pride and joy, an FN Herstal 98 in .257 Roberts complete with Buehler mount and an old scope I didn't catch the make of. Well above my fun fund for now and I'm doing my best to avoid new calibers but I'd certainly make an exception if the price comes down.Nah, you want this one:

I didn't make it that far when I read it was available in 7x57.
Then I did a search and found out the price. #NOPE
