Thinking is how I ended up with mine.
Actually, it makes a lot of sense as a general-purpose round. Low recoil, cheap on powder, easy on barrels, decent power- especially at extended range where the high-bc bullets show their stuff. Fits ARs and compact bolt guns.
My CZ has a 24" barrel and comes in at about 6 1/2 pounds, according to the spec chart. Good weight for toting and casual shooting, I'm thinking. Somehow, all my other deer rifles ended up being pretty heavy, which is no big deal for sitting in a tree, but gets old poking around in the hills we call mountains here.
