It's killed deer, coyotes and lots of TX pigs without an issue. It looks pretty good, too.

Looks AND class right there!

VAHillbilly, I'm looking at about the same performance here, or a 130gr TTSX for 2900 fps, starting load basically, or dropped 2 grains and loaded in 7.62x51mm LC brass. Like you said, easy on the shoulder, easy on the brass, easy on my Garand.

And the cupped metal buttplate on a Kar 98k is a real shoulder tenderizer haha.
