My quest this summer was to make this rifle a legit hunting rifle, I had it pillar bedded and fixed the trigger and put on a massive upgrade in scopes. I have been out several times doing load development with several bullets and powders, not quite finished yet but so far 140gr AB's and good old H4831sc look tough to beat in this rifle.


Buddy uses that same 140AB/4831SC combo to very good effect. It opens fast enough to be very effective on deer and holds together well enough that it's no slouch for bigger game as well.
