[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1902913, member: 67552"] I have had two in the .243Win, one in .257Wby, one in 6.5x284N, one in 25-06 and still have one in 300 Weatherby. One of the 243s was a red pad and was pretty inconsistent, but with great lumber. The rest of my exposure is with black pads from the 90s all the way to the quite current 257 and 6.5 norma. All but the one were sub minute guns with more than one load. The one I have kept in the 300 Roy eats anything, has a rare great factory trigger and fabulous wood. I seldom drag it out cause it gets along with gravity better than most of my guns (seems like it weighs 20 pounds). The pet load is running 165 Sciroccos in the 3300 neighborhood and it will put 5 holes inside 3 inches at 400 yards with regularity. It does have the rail, but I put a Vortex viper 4-16x44 and the eye relief on that scope was made for the Ruger #1B. My last trip out with this gun was a few years ago now. I filled my South Dakota mule deer tag at 457 yards. Point of aim was 2 inches posterior and 2 inches up from the point of his elbow and impact was just 2" up from that. It does have a brake and I saw the impact. He went stiff legged and tipped straight over. My father in law used the same gun the next evening to his super wide 3x3 at just under 400 yards. I would trust this gun to 600 yards without a second thought. [/QUOTE]
