[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1557399, member: 69192"] Thanks for the link, will order one tomorrow, it seems pretty much straight forward. I like the Whelen for bear hunting, for the type of hunting I do, there's no long range shooting there; it's bang and DRT. My son and I both have Whelens, we shoot them at 300 yards. When we first started shooting at steel plates at 300 yards we thought that we might as well get familiar with shooting that distance with them just in case a shot presented itself. We were actually surprised and how well the rifle/caliber shot, and now we're actually trying to get out rifles to group well. Out glass is good enough for hunting, however not something to be shooting tight groups with. We did find that both rifles liked the Sierra Gameking 225gr SPBT. We hunt with the Barnes 225gr TSXs, that really work well on bear, but cannot hold a candle to the Sierra bullets for accuracy. All in time. I am currently building a .270 Ackley Improved, it was supposed to be a .280 AI wildcat, I preferred the .270AI instead. I called the gunsmith and he said not a problem to change. I ought to get the rifle back just before the spring thaw hits, hopefully get some range time in. Thanks for posting that ling for me. [/QUOTE]
