[QUOTE="WYMIKE, post: 1705077, member: 103212"] I have shot a Warbird in Sako M995 since 2001. Never regretted the purchase from an outfitter who only shot it once with factory ammo. The rifle is very well built and accurate with 168 Moly coated Bergers and a Leupold 6-18x40 dot. Yes the twist rate limits your bullets selection. It was built for speed. I have lost count of how many one shot kills its made since taking that rifle to the hills of Wyoming. Distance was never a problem as it carried energy downrange for elk, deer, antelope and sheep at extreme ranges. On the practice range it punishes the AR500 steel. The addition of a Huskemaw 5-20x50 was wonderful in 2011. New load testing with N565 and N570 powder has really opened my eyes as the ES has been greatly reduced for even more consistant loads. Brass is always trimmed and annealed. Primers are Fed 215M. Yep is is expensive to shoot but when I have one shot it comes thru for me - after all I work for a year to get that opportunity and I owe it to the animals I'm hunting. There is nothing like "The Bird". [/QUOTE]
