I'm looking at both the Barrett Fieldcraft and the Forbes model 24b in 30-06 for a lightweight backcountry gun for short range big game needs - elk, deer, maybe even take on a sheep hunt for some more horsepower in case I run into a bear.
Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Forbes that can attest to the accuracy/reputation of them? In a perfect world, I'd like to shoot 180gr partitions or similar rounds in the rifle.
Thanks for the input!
