[QUOTE="JD Jones, post: 2645452, member: 120849"] I ended up developing a hammer hunter 143 load and took that to Idaho. Groups on the VLD and the HH were great for my liking though. Long story short… lots of cows but no bulls presented a shot. I had a giant black bear dragging his belly on the turf last day at 195 but too many factors led to me not pulling the trigger and I am ok with that decision. Im not sure about the 12 yr old comment but my son won’t be shooting this gun anytime soon however I think he could handle the recoil. He more interested in ducks and upland and rabbit with his bow I have an aoudad hunt in February which I plan to take the Bergers on that hunt Some notes: I did shoot out to 585 with the hammers and was making first round impacts well inside that sub MOA metric. I hand carry my rifle when hiking the mountain during shooting light. I am in love with the weight of this gun. Never once did I regret my decision and many times thought how crappy it would have been to tote my 13# + 6.5 PRC the 12-15 daily miles in Idaho up and down those hills. The optic is working fine but I won’t lie… I worry some about the reviews I’ve read on unexplained tracking issues. So I’ll be monitoring that. 200 + rounds no issues but the jury is out on if a NF will land on top. I know CA gets a bad rap on the internet in some circles but mine is a shooter and I couldn’t be happier with my decision [/QUOTE]
