I have way more scope on the 26 than what I need.
The reticle is a P3 so I have built in dots if I ever need them.
Last season was my first season to run any 6.5 for deer.
It also was about the first time in 30 some years, I havent run a handload...
I had the 26 built instead of a 28 or a 30 as I was looking to keep the recoil to a min.
I watched the smith shooting the 28 and the 30 and I think ill pass.

Only accurate rifles are interesting.
