[QUOTE="jeffwhip, post: 348459, member: 22355"] I'm new to this forum and would like to ask you all to bear with me as I ask my first set of ignorant questions. I'm selling my guns and other items so that I can buy one or two Allen Magnums built by Kirby. Here are some questions I have for all of you: 1. Is the Lilja barrel better than a Krieger barrel? 2. How much do the 257 AM, 7mm AM & 338 AM weigh? 3. What barrel length do most of you recommend for hunting? 4. Does all the powder burn when the cartridge is fired? 5. The 280 Ackley Improved is designed to be an efficient cartridge, are the three calibers listed above considered to be efficient? 6. What kind of powder loads are you guys using to get the performance you are getting? 7. What exactly is the repeater version of these guns? Is it a clip that fits into the gun? 8. With the long case length when loaded, do you guys have any problems getting the cartridges to feed into the gun? 9. Is there any way to get cases that are already made so I don't have to waste barrel life and fire-form them myself? 10. Which NF Scope do you recommend? The 8X32 or 5X22? Like I said, I'm just trying to get educated before I make a purchase and wish I had had it built a different. Thanks for your comments in advance. Jeff [/QUOTE]
