Default If you could get one Swiss made hunting rifle what would it be?

I may have a strange possible opportunity here in the near future here.

I know nothing of Swiss made arms. I assume they're awsome for workmanship.

So... If anyone can pass me some advice, insight, tips... It would be greatly appreciated.

I currently enjoy shooting 7mmrm, 30-06, and 303.

Interesting.

I thought my blaser k95 was german, don't care as I love it to pieces. But If these rifles r on your list u have tough choice ahead, some very innovative modern well built expensive rifles in that list. Good luck, I'm a blaser fan but the sauer line could be worth a look.

Blaser, Sauer, or Heym ( I know Heym isn't Swiss )

Can't go wrong with any.

The SHR970 is nice, not crazy expensive. You can switch barrels too, the system is very similar to the Sauer 202 (i.e. each case-head group needs a new bolt but changes within a case-head group you just change barrels, maybe mags if necessary).
