Kabar Becker knives are great and they offer them in various lengths. The BK2 is a great option for something larger and heavy duty. I like the Boker Ridgeback for a smaller knife that will handle lighter duty tasks than the Becker.
I took the leap and bought a Sauer 100 in 7 Rem Mag because I was able to find it on sale for $400. I figured how could I go wrong for so cheap? Man, the rifle flat shoots. I didnt take any pictures of the targets. I am in the process of swapping the optic over to a Zeiss Conquest and may go...
For what its worth my hunting partner has Steiner Predators and I have Nikon Monarch 5. I like mine better than his and he paid double or maybe a little more than double what I paid. I want to say that I picked mine up for about $250 last year.
