Sako-addicted
Hi Everyone. There seems to be some confusion on the internet boards over the O'Brien Rifle Calibers and the H&R Ultra Wildcat calibers that were produced back in the day.
Both producers used the Sako L461 Action (which in my humble opinion is just GREAT). question is what calibers did each manufacturer actually produce.
I know that O'Brien made the Mach III (on the xp-100 Action), Mach IV, 17 Javelina, and 17 Magnum were produced using the L461 Action.
H&R produced the Ultra Wildcats in 17-223, 17 Remington, 222, and 223.
So my questions are did O'Brien make the 17-222 or 17 Remington?
Did H&R ever make the Ultra Wildcat in 17-222, 17 Javelina, or 17 Mach IV?
I appreciate any clarification or additional information that can be added. Please do me a favor and if possible add a reference to either an O'Brien advertisement or catalog or similar reference for the H&R varieties.
