[QUOTE="Qzilla, post: 132858, member: 6073"] I have a 240 that I bought for my wife and I love it and so does she. I have it in the Super Big Game Master which they do not offer anymore. The one thing to consider is that it is on a smaller action and in a lighter rifle than the 257. This will cause the recoil to be very similar to the 257. We killed around 25deer and probably 150 hogs with it last year alone and now I am shooting it until Shawn gets my 257 to me! I shot the barrel out of my 257 in the same gun. I shoot the 100gr Spire Point. It rarely exits and the animals never move. I would not say that the bullet blows up but, it has a lot of expansion. I did not like the X bullet or the Partition on hogs and deer. Everyone I shot ran after I hit it and they had pin holes in them. With the Spire point the drop and the damage is severe! I shoot this gun in the brush country and I think the longest shot I have made with it was jsut shy of 200 yards. I have also shot as close as 10 yards and they just fall dead. My average shot is around 70yds. i would not hesistate to shoot any deer sized game with it. [/QUOTE]
