Forgot to mention, you obviously need to verify the numbers by shooting at those distances but I have found it to be pretty damn close, so close I pegged a 8x5" Crown Royal box at 700 yards with the second shot. First was a tad low and I need another 1/2 MOA dialed in.

Ok, I lied to you. The Target Turrets are numbered every 3 (3, 6, 9 and 12) the M1's throughout. Target turret with your 1MOA dialed up for 250 yards (course I wouldn't sweat 2.5" of drop) Target turret with 2 1/4MOA dialed in for 300 yards M1 turret for 250yards M1 turret for 300 yards

I have to jump in here -- tradition is being disrespected. What about the 25-284 #2 countour pac nor 22" tube in an McMillan Edge with a 6x42 Leupold with Silly-Whets? That is THE PERMISSIBLE answer. All else is second best . . . . . BMT

Negative. Went to Cabelas but nothing turned my crank, at least nothing I was will to drop the coin on. Saw a sweet custom Sako Vixen but it was $3K.
They are pretty proud of some of there stuff. Was looking for a used Marlin 30/30 for a project and they had several, all beat to hell and back and going for $400.

What about the 25-284 #2 countour pac nor
Careful, the Pacnor #2 is a pretty stout contour. I would opt of a #1 if I used Pacnor.

I think you would be hard pressed to find a better combo than a Model 7 in .260 dropped in an Edge and topped off with a 2.5x8 Leupie in Talley LWs

+1. My initial sheep rifle was a 6.5-284 on a Ruger action and when I decided to have a seriously light rifle built I went with a NULA M20 in 6.5-284. Both very accurate. One's light and the other lighter. BTW both wear synthetic stocks and 2.5-8x36 scopes.

Figure my Montana in 7WSM would be my sheep rifle, if I ever went sheep hunting. Mountain Guide 7-08 would serve as backup...

Willing to share the specs/pics of the Ruger? Steelhead- Big thanks for the turret info.

Thanks Steelhead! To me the M1 looks like the way to go for a hunting gun.
