Not sure what the handle material is on the SFNO, but it feels like G10, I think the canvas would be too porous for the Duracoat finish. After playing with many of the Busse designs, I think for an overall good design and size the SFNO is hard to beat. The AK by the way is a Polish 1960s Milled reciever that is EXTREMELY accurate for an AK, the milled receiver is so smooth when the bolt comes back. when I zeroed it at 50yrds, they were head shots out of the box, no windage or elevation adjustment needed on this one.
The Shrike is sweet. I have a Kestrel, but I like the thicker spike on the shrike better, not to mention the sharpening stone in the handle. a wicked tool
