[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1274356, member: 30902"] Well if nothing else I promise you that it's got a good home where it's very much appreciated. If I know I'm going to have to really reach out to kill something it's 100% reliable and may be the least finicky rifle I've ever had when it comes to loading or even just shooting factory ammo. I picked up two old boxes of Winchester Supreme's with 160gr "fail safe" bullets and it shot them well enough to stack up two consecutive kills at 740yds. I was shooting into a 20 plus mph direct headwind, dropped a buck looking straight at me with a shot right above the sternum and 20 seconds later a doe came over to see why he fell down and dropped her with an almost identical shot. She had her head way up though and it went straight into her spine. I was shooting off of the same Trigger Sticks Tripod but had my back up against a tree and my shoulder leaned into it so getting steady was no problem. I wouldn't have attempted that with any of my lighter guns.... . HA!:D That was a couple of years ago when I was still recovering from surgery that had sidelined me nearly all season so having something so reliable really meant a lot. [/QUOTE]
