[QUOTE="Rogue Hunter, post: 1069313, member: 46048"] Thanks Rog! Slaysesh, I've used Bartlien, Douglas xx match, Pacnor super match, Kreiger, Shilen select, and McGowan's all for xp builds. All of the McGowan's (at least a dozen now) have shot under 1/2 MOA consistently at 300 yards. Some of them are closer to 1/4 MOA guns if I do my part. My 20 Vt's shoot in the .1's & .2's all day long at a 100 yards. I killed a sage rat at 743 yards last year with my 6.5-.284 xp. Put hits on a 24" x 24" swinger at a mile with the same gun. -It wears a McGowan. Did a rockchuck at 1017 with my McGowan barrelled 1-8 twist .243 WSSM xp. Rolled a nice black bear on a clear cut and filled five Wyoming antelope tags with that same xp . That being said, unless I was going to build an ultra competitive long range bench gun, The McGowan would get the nod. -Best bang for the buck. Your bullet choice should work well for your intended purpose. -The .284 is a great cartridge for the game you mentioned. You will have a fun time with it! gun) -Mike [/QUOTE]
