Does this count ?

I got it in Dec, 2011 and killed my first deer with it the FIRST day I took it hunting in 2012.

Since then @ 5 others. It does NOT have an excessively long throat. It's easy to load ammo for it. This is my 2nd Win 70 FTWT and LOVE the rifle.

It has a Swift 3-9X40 scope and it took longer to get the velocity UP to my specs than ANY 270 W I've ever had.

If that 6.5X55 wasn't in THAT rifle...... it'd be gone. For now, it's not for sale.
