You may find yourself retiring all of your other big game rifles, using this one exclusively.....until you start hunting in the mountains! Ask me how I know! grin

Are those Pecan trees in the background? As a kid, I picked up quite a few pounds of pecans to by my first centerfire rifle! memtb

I picked up a bunch of pecans to buy my first shotgun, a Model 12.

No pecans for this one, but as someone posted, they are accurate. Chopped to 21" and fluted helped with what I thought was an overly heavy 24" barrel. This one balances and handles great. Old style M-70 trigger tuned to a crisp 3#'s.

CEB Raptor seemed to be a good one for this gun. Haven't killed anything yet with this combo. Too many projects, not enough time. It should whack about anything I'd be hunting.
