An open mind is a terrrible thing to waste.
RD: If I didn't think it was a good cartridge, I wouldn't have ordered one.
You guys confuse my comments and views,placing the cartridge into perspective with the competition,for being closed-minded.
If I had not hunted and killed with a 280(140 at 3050),and a 7 Rem Mag (140 at 3250),many times,you might have a point.But I already know, without ever having owned one, exactly what it's gonna do.
I do think it's a perfect fit for that 84L.Seems that rifle will come in weight wise,about where my old and long gone Searcy 7 RM did; a bit over 7 1/4 pounds scoped.Not a bad place to be.
