That 700TI stainless take-off barrel you sold me some years back, I put on a 725. Screwed right in with perfect headspace - exactly upside down. I don't need to see the barrel stamping anyway. With a good rest, it will shoot 3 (and probably 5 - not something I worry about) 140 gr. factory Corelokts into about 2 1/2 inches at 300 yards.

I've killed caribou to about 400 yards with it. And an elk at @ 150. It is sufficient to my needs to 500 yards - my limit. Nice carry rifle too.

Except it doesn't seem to like ANYTHING but 140's. I need to experiment with handloads a bit when I get back out of the Bush, and have some time. I'd sure like to try a 129, and some monos. Barnes TSX factory 120's gave me horrible groups!

I can live with what I've got..... smile
