OK, let me go home to 100% confirm the details I have stated.  I do remember it saying on the box the word "Handy".  Does that mean it is not a Bautte?  I also thought it had the word Bautte on the box end too.  So is it contradictory to have both words on the box end???  In other words, is a "Handy" not a "Bautte"?

I have never shot it, mainly because I have heard how brutal they can be.  I am very comfortable with a mod 700 .308 and that is my primary rifle.

The AF officer warned there will be a considerably "large flash" that comes out when fired.  He said if it did not kill the bear it would either definately blind him or scare him to death!

It was bought new from a large outfitters I think called Primrose(???).  I do have the original sales receipt and owners manuals to the rifle and scope too.

Let me know about "Handy" vs. "Bautte".  Also, I don't know your email.
