I have two with Criterion barrels. They both shoot anything that I want to put through them. Those that hate them, don't know them. It is a good, mild-shooting/recoiling, easy loading cartridge that performs extremely well on range, or on deer and antelope. I'll keep mine.
Kind reminds me of that 6.5 caliber by Remington that uses the 308 case....
the one they launched back in '97....
