[QUOTE="orch, post: 564847, member: 35688"] Hey Draxx, I got one about a year ago when they first started trickling into canada... Very happy with it! I have got some good groups with it @ 1000 yards when I do my part.... It likes 300 gr SMK's and retumbo and I have been toying with some other bullets that show promise.... I am itching to get out to beyond 1030 yards with it but haven't had the opportunity as of yet.... The one thing I am beginning to realize is under 1000 seems like a waist of barrel life and reloading components because I can ring steel better and cheaper with my 2506 ai at 1000 (had my savage 110 rebarrelled to it this spring and it shoots like a laser!) Anyways... My plan is to keep this gun as my dedicated 1000+ yard deer and coyote killer and henseforth have reduced my trigger time behind it compared to my other guns to just enough to keep used to shooting it so I am confident taking the long range shots... The 2506 ai will be my go to gun for yotes under 1000 and deer under 800... Now having said all that I'm happy I got it but if I had the option at the time I probably would have one with the savage model 111 fcp 338 in the hs stock and put the extra $500 towards glass and reloading supplies... What are your plans for the gun? If it is only for 1000 yard shooting at rocks and steel then I'd probably say stick with the 3006, it should be more than capable with the right bullets and powder pushing it.... Orch [/QUOTE]
