My Hunter is in 6.5 CM with a 2.5x8 Leupold on deck.
I’ve killed several elk with it and 3 big blacktail bucks so far.
I really like this rifle. It fits me very well, balance is good and I enjoy its light weight.
The action is basically a scaled down pre64 model 70.
The trigger is adjustable and mine is set at 2 1/2#.
The detachable magazine works just fine and I’ve come to favor it over a blind mag.
I haven’t reloaded for it yet, as the factory ammo I’ve run thru it shoots extremely well......
The stock ergonomics work well for me - a good fit.
The plain Jane earth tone color is easily painted to suit....a blank canvas in my view.
I hit mine with some black web spray and topped that with a few coats of Matt clear coat.
That completely changes the rifles look.....it says “all business”.
I like this rifle enough that I’m adding a Hunter in 7mm-08 to the safe.....
