They suck so bad I have three of them, .30-06, .300WM and .338WM.


For whatever reason 1. I liked the looks - skeletal like -, 2. I never got around to getting one.

THE biggest objection I had to them was the FRONT, sling RIG. They would click side to side. I'm sure I could have solved that fairly easily but didn't get a rifle. That was NOT the reason I didn't get one.

Take a good look at my ..30-06, the one on the right. Picked it up used. Someone did a nice job of installing studs.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
