Was the black forearm tip a factory job or add on?
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Was the black forearm tip a factory job or add on? That was an add on, as were the sights ( wrap around front, island rear one standing one folding) and the Barrel band, plus matte finish job on it all....

Pick a bullet in the 140-160 grain range and go kill WT and exotics. ---- This ----

I shoot the 140 NAB or Sierra Game Kings. Both are very accurate in my rifle over H414.

Caught a 264lb Axis buck dead on the point of his right shoulder on a perfect quarter in at 155 yards with 175gr grand slam that left my 7x57 at 2700 fps, bullet exited left ham just outside hip socket, DRT, the old 3-9 Leupold barely gave me enough light, heard the impact, eye refocused, saw the lump on the ground, perfect.

I have a load with WW brass, RL19, CCI 200, and either a 160gr Sierra GK or a 160gr Partition. They shoot into the same group out to 300 yards. I practice with the Sierras because they’re so much cheaper. I then switch to the partition to hunt, unless I’m not using a rifle for elk. If just deer, I just keep using the Sierras.

The 140 grain AB would seem like a good all-around choice for medium game. Definitely works on whitetails. Son’s red pad 77 gets the 140AB with 50 gr of H4350. He wants nothing else.
