To have to pay for a factory rifle than throw a few hundred more at it, just doesn't interest more anymore these days.

There's not much that I can buy off the rack that I find interesting... Sure wouldn't hold my breath on a factory offering any time soon, and I absolutely wouldn't do without one while I waited.

Weighs 25 oz. found it on eBay one day, it wasn’t very popular. I’ve dropped it and dented both the objective bell and the ocular but it still works great. “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.” ALDO LEOPOLD

I liked it well enough but ended up trading up to a 5-25 PMII. Did a deal with Europtics. Id take the 3-12 anywhere. The 5-25 not so much. Just a load.. Dave Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Dave I was set up in a gas line cut away and about 45 minutes after the sun came up I saw a doe come out to my left. I didn’t know how far at the time I just knew it wasn’t over 300 so I held right on and shot. She leg kicked and took off but not very fast. 90 seconds later another one came in the exact spot as the first, I stopped her, shot and she leg kicked and bulldozed on her chest out of sight. I ranged after both shots and I saw it was 250. The first one only ran 35 yards and toppled. The second one ended up bulldozing for 20 yards. Both shots right behind the shoulder.

With 52 rounds down the barrel these are launching at 3450 FPS. I guess I should expect a small gain in velocity at around 100 rounds? At least that’s what I hear. Last edited by REDVANES; 01/02/21.

LAUGHING! Heaviest one. Hint. Had a Bushie '18x LRTS arrive today and prolly should poke it on the heaviest,so folks don't tease me about colors. Hint. LAUGHING! Assembled one for a pard earlier today. James 7" Heavy Bull at 28",kissing Beer Cans at 2.825" and should crowd 3300fps with 'em. Hint. I've heard good thangs about 75 ELD's too.
