[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1219817, member: 7898"] I have two of them currently - the first is a first-year production model with over 3500 rounds down the pipe. It's in an ADL configuration. In the late 70's I had it re-stocked. In the mid-80's I gave it to my Dad when his 270 crapped out on him. It's been a one-shot killer since day one. Longest shot was 637 yards on a hill country doe. I've taken more than 200 deer with it, adding in the one's my Dad took. I also took 4 elk with it - two spike bulls and 2 cows. My cousins in Oregon referred to it as a 'South Texas Rabbit Gun'. After taking the two bulls, they made sure I was bringing that rifle up to hunt.
