[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 57352, member: 1290"] I'm not sure what to say. It has the best of everything. Mine is an early version that comes with the HS Precision aluminum bed blocked stock. The Kreiger lapped barrel is really smooth. Less than 10 patches start to finnish and she is spotless. The trigger adjusted with two screws that you can reach with it in the stock to remove the creep and weight of pull. Mine adjusted down to a real crisp 13 ounces. I stopped there. It might go lighter. I used Leupold bases with Burris Signature rings with 20 minutes of down elevation so I could have more elevation available in the Burris Black Diamond 8x32-50 scope. When I had that scope on my Ruger I could hit pop cans almost every time at 600 yards. My 300 Weatherby shoots in the .2's and I expect the Accumark to do the same. I'm thinking the 75 grain V-Maxes will top 4300 if I want to. I sure like finally having the power to just shoot the velocity I want to now rather than having to lean on stuff to get by. I'm sure all my loads will be reduced from max for the sake of long life. The brass was $106 delivered to my door from Cabela's for 100 peices of real Weatherby brass. Once you have your brass it doesn't cost much different than the 25-06 to load for. It really is one fine rifle. Everything about it is just so smooth and fit so nice. The muzzle is finnished at .705 so this has some metal in it. With my 29 ounce scope it weighs 10.5 pounds. The raised cheek area puts me in perfect alignment with the scope.
