So far this year I’ve hunted with a 336 in 35 rem and shot a pretty good 10point at about 85 yards through thick brush. Hunted my Rem 700 270 with lilja barrel. Rem 700 7 mag. Model 7 stainless in 7-08 and an old varmint special in 6mm. My buds have used kimber 84 in 308, my 270, a 6.5/06, rem 700 300 win mag, and a Rem 700 with a hart 280 AI barrel.
