[QUOTE="bailey1474, post: 439050, member: 3249"] Great round. I would like to have one myself. I would caution that you don't get caught up in the 2900 fps w/the 180 gr bullet hype. Will it do it?? With a 30" bbl, yes. With a 26" you will be looking at closer to 2800 fps. I know the RL17 hype as well. You may get it w/RL 17 but whether or not it will be accurate is another question. If it is great. If not you have a gun that you will be dissapointed in. A friend of mine built one and he is shooting the 168 @ 2880 fps. Shoots little bug holes and has good down range energy for no more powder than you burn and no more recoil than it has. It is a great, accurate caliber. Just don't expect more than it can give you.
