[QUOTE="R. Cram, post: 2866411, member: 116633"] Thankyou for your kind words and thoughts, you might find this interesting if not I'm sorry, I shoot Highpower and use a ruger precision rifle which I think is a great rifle, if I don' hit a 10 it's my fault never the rifle and the stock is adustable for length of pull and cheek height. I have shot a 260 since 1998 for this game and the loads seem to be very similar every time I change barrels so I took the factory 6.5 creedmore off and put a new barrel { I'm on my 4th in 6 years] and chambered it in 260. Another of these ruger precision rifles I have I decided to hunt with so I took the factory barrel off and rechambered it in 6.5x284 and killed a couple of deer with it and it shot pretty well.
