Nice shooting with no barrel jump just a little recoil straight back. Mine was scoped with I think a 2-7 burris and I had it sighted in for 100yds, was getting about 1.5+ groups.

Message Bobby Tomek on here. I bet he has killed more critters with it than anybody else in the world. Has more pics than you can view in a days time. The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

The JDJ was not worth the effort over the Waters. I ran 120 NBT in mine I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
