[QUOTE="JaoeyP, post: 1351106, member: 103061"] Under rated for what purpose? Hunting- 8x57 Mauser. I hunted with one for two years. Killed 5 deer; 4 bang-flops, 1 ran 20 yards. Only reason I'm not hunting with it still is I lent the rifle to my brother and haven't been able to get it back! Long range target/competition- 243 Win. If you build a rifle with 8" twist or faster and handload the high BC bullets you've got a rifle that could shoot inside (both elevation and wind) of the 6.5 Creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
