May I ask what was your preferred load, and how did it shoot ?
I'm sorta looking for a rifle for my skinny Son to deer hunt with.....recoil has gotten in his head, although it was my fault some yrs ago.
I know the caliber will be one that I'll fall in love with.
It would be nice to buy one where I already know it's favorite recipe.

Also, I'm guessing it's not, but the rifle isn't a super featherweight 5.5 pounder I hope??? It won't be carried far, so a little weight would be a positive.

Somebody please buy this darn thing. It's killing me.

I'm just glad it's in Texas....lol

Is it comfortable with heavier bullets? Just wondering, I know 8 T will do 140s and do them well.

Bullmark. It shoots the 130 gr Accubond well and also the 125 grain partition with 38.3 grains of V540 and 210M. The Accubond was just under .700 3 shots at 100 yards. and the partition was just under an inch. Weight with the light Zeiss was 7.5# on my bathroom scale. It is not a featherweight.

Coyotemaster, I don't remember ever shooting anything heavier than the 130 grain, I had a 13# fast twist rifle to do that.

26Reload, UPS can put anywhere is the US. lol

Great looking boomstick, I wish it had a tighter twist barrel.
