Since getting my #1 13 years ago it has accounted for 1 deer and most of my antelope since. Last Monday was the latest antelope. It makes you put all your stalking and shooting skills to work to make that one good shot. Mine isn't as light and responsive as yours. I have a 28" barrel on it in .264 Win. Mag.. Yours would have been just the ticket at the 30 yards from the herd I found myself in, but mine is too heavy for quick off-hand shooting that would have been called for.

Good luck hunting with your #1!
