I guess i have a few to sell off now. Now who would have thought those statistics possible? When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

It now wears a Swarov Z3 3.5-10. With a sling, three down and one up the pipe it's right at 6.5 lbs.

That bout sums it up,but damn! You made it sound so unappealing. I remember when I started hunting. The Otter6 looked like the holy grail of cartridges. I had to transition through a few other chamberings first though. Paying my dues so to speak. 12ga single shot for one season.Then a 94 Winny 30-30. Then on to a 788 308. Finally,I came to land on a Mark X Interarms 30/06! Cloud nine and beyond. I had arrived! The big leagues. Since then there have been something like 45 or 50 other rifles come and go. Even so,the Otter has been a staple around here. 2 in the safe right now. How about "Not perfect,but capable?" Sounds a little bit better?

He probably puts down 25-30 deer per year, minimum. He shoots a few with a 308 and some with his 7 mag, but most are dispatched with a Browning A-Bolt in 'o6. I think that at the 2675-2950 FPS threshold, a good cup and core 150gr or 165gr bullet from a 3o-o6 is simply the best answer to 100% of the hunting that 90% of people do. It is a wildly popular cartridge that doesn't need marketing or hype.
