[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 149313, member: 8"] Wildcat What do you want to hunt with the gun? If it is elk or deer I think you will be very happy with it. I would first observe you are way overscoped and will be unhappy. Although you seem to go against the grain alot, so maybe you will actually be happy. I am a very low tech hunter so I do not have a chronograph but Kirby chrongraphed mine at 3340 fps with a very mild load of US869 in a 34 inch barrel with a 200 grain RBBT Wildcat. I could probably achieve 3400+ fps if I choose to. The reason I went to a 34 inch barrel was that for the first few years I would like to have the maximum range possible and then I would like to have enough barrel to set it back at least once and maybe twice. I bought a 308 to practice with and do not shoot the 7AM for pleasure. It is strictly to hunt with. There are three of us who I know of that have killed stuff with this caliber: 7mmSS, James Staggs and me. We all have our emails in our profiles. We all believe the cartridge is the best thing since sliced bread and I have many times asked James and Dick questions and I follow their advice just like it came from Kirby (which it usually did). They both have been very helpful to me. In fact only about two weeks ago I asked Dick (7mmSS) for advice and even though his advice made my eyebrows go up a ways, in the end I followed his advice and am glad I did. Kirby was always very honest with me on technical issues as well as financial issues and my advice to you is to simply trust him. He will deliver you a great gun if you ask for and take his advice. I hope you are getting a single shot action. I always grit my teeth when people build long range guns designed to miss with. I ordered 500 of the 200 gr HP RBBT Wildcats with my rifle. I am happy with that style bullet for hunting elk. I am very comfortable that the gun will kill elk to 1500 yards. Too bad it doesn't have a better triggerman. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] My best advice is to rely on Kirby for advice. You are paying him for that. It is included in the price of the gun. What I did was mark my calendar and send him a nice easy going email once every two months asking about the weather and world affairs. He would always recognize it as an inquiry into the status of things and let me know he was still alive and knew I was still alive. I am very happy with the way things went. [/QUOTE]
