[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 450962, member: 6555"] tangodown, I had the Edge in mind and had many dreams about one but when things went on paper I would need an Edge about 3% of my hunting! granted the cool factor is high these little Okie whitetail deer don't need much to topple over, I had shot the barrel out of my 308 I built years ago so thought I needed a stricktly hunting rifle so I ordered a barrel from McGowen and chambered it in 284 Win since I like to be different, that was 2 years ago and it has more than met my expectations! it's not an Edge and I'm only shooting 162gr. bullets but so far on the deer I've shot it's been a hammer. It's built on a Yugo Mauser and the COL of the round is 3.100" and feeds great after very minimal work on the rails. I like to show her off so here's a little picture or her. This is the 5th McGowen barrel I have used and they do well, it's not my Kreiger but then again all the rifle will bang pennies @ 100 yards all day.
