I have one in a tang safety .308 that was purchased from my Aunt after my Uncle's passing. I have fond memories of him sitting in his ladder stand hunting in PA with it. I clearly remember a "trophy" 3 point he shot with it on the first day of rifle season. I was super thankful when I had the opportunity to buy it. I bought it with a leupold vari-x II 1-4 on it but swapped it for a fixed 6x M8. It is plenty accurate with 150 grain interlocks and is the nicest carrying and handling rifle I own. For the hunting I currently do, it would be all that I would ever need (just don't let me wife know that) wink
