I like mine especially for bear hunting. For now I put a cheaper but well made older used 2.5x fixed on it in the standard location (need another ring). Also I swapped on a Ruger "canoe paddle" stock for a bit more LOP (and to save the nice laminated one slopping bait pails around. See it here - http://35cal.com/ruger77_358frontier.html

Jack O'Conner (Mr .270 of course), from a 1962 article entitled Deer and Deer Rifles, writes that he "... regards the neglected and obsolescent .358 Winchester cartridge with its 200-grain bullet at 2,530 or its 250-grain bullet at 2,250 as probably the most deadly woods cartridge in existence, not only for deer but for elk and even moose. The .358 has the power and weight to drive deep on the rear-end shot, which the woods hunter all too often has to take."
