If I am jumping to a L/A,it has to be something that will whip a Kreed’s .697 BC 147 at 2700fps and/or a 7-08’s .796 BC 180 at 2600fps. That dismisses the ‘06. Hint…………..

Not sure on factory loads.
But I'm shooting hand loads 180 game kings at 2850 + out of the old 06. I'm limited by my 10x scope to about 600 with the thick cross hair. But my other scope at 12x I'm good to 800 on a 12" gong .
It's a hunting rig, not a long range bench rifle How is that combo on game at 600 yds? No long range kills, but The bullets holds together at close range and I'd have no issue shooting something at 600. According to my ballistic calculator the 180 is going at 1960 fps. At 600. I'll take it
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I was just looking over the specs on that Arken. Looks pretty nice too. A lot of great features, travel, etc. A little on the heavy side at 35 ounces, but that's not really a deal-breaker on a long-range play toy. If you wanna try out the 4-16 MM, shoot me a message, I'll gladly send it out for you to try. I think I'll go with the small variant next time. Good scopes and all but they are huge.. ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/ww233/beretzs/5CE35D4F-BF47-4BDC-BB81-C0E61D109814.jpeg) Thanks for the nice offer, but I'm good.....(grin). I could see putting one on a heavy long range bomber. No sweat, It's coming off that and I have no clue what I'll put it on next.. If it’s as big as it looks in that pic, that thing is a monster.

It is JM. It’ll be fine on a big gun just way too much on the mini.
