My first 250-3000 was a Mod.20 hand-down from my Dad in 57. Shot many, many chucks and fox with it, also my first few deer. I still have that rifle. Sence then I`ve added 4 more, three in the AI version. 1x10 twist. My walking varminter is a 700SA, McMillian stock. Weighs bout 7.5 lbs. All bullet weights shoot very well, up too 115-120 pills. I find the 87 grn Nos. tough to beat, and just knock snot out of rock-chucks.
Longest shot this summer was a lazed 667 yrds. 108 grn JLK.
