Iv gone thru the same scenario over the last few years trying to find my go to gun . Since Iv got back into serious hunting Iv been thru an encore 270 likely the most accurate gun Iv ever owned . Then I bought a Remington model 7 whitetail in 300 WSM likely should have kept that one . Then a Remington 7600 in 280 rem . To the point I'm at today I'm awaiting delivery of a cs Forbes 24B in 30-06 and already feeling buyers remorse . Im beginning to think its the mechanic not the tools .
