[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 498113, member: 13"] Good and valid question. This was built specifically for bench use in a long-range handgun match. Like BR matches for rifles, where the rifle ends up not bearing much resemblance to a hunting rifle, so we have the same here. This set-up is not for hunting, although...If you were hunting prone in a wide open field with a SEB Rest that had F-Class feet on the elevation legs so they don't slip deep into the ground, it would make a deadly LR combination.:cool: Sorry, couldn't resist:D In reality it would be two heavy and bulky to carry very far.:D But, since this is a switch barrel/switch stock specialty handgun, I can either leave the 7WSM barrel on and put the McRee stock on it. Or put the 6.5 Leopard (WSM) barrel on it, and now I have a practical and accurate LR hunting rig. I shoot more from field positions than I do from a bench, but when I shoot at pd's I like to shoot from a portable bench. I have some specialty handguns that have 14-15 inch barrels and weigh around 5-7.5 pounds with optic on it that I shoot distance with as well. More than anything, I just like to shoot these specialty handguns and the unique challenges they can bring. 597 yards on this mulie this past fall. This is the same action, just a different stock and barrel. [IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j4/xphunter_2006/IMG_5144.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
