Well this is one of most accurate guns and the nicest stalking rifle I own.
The gun is light well balanced. I topped it off with a Trijicon 1-4 30 mm tube with the green post. This makes for quick handling quick on target hunting rig.
This gun can be loaded with heavy hard cast or 400 grain jacketed bullets.
My favorite deer hunting load is a Lasercast Trueshot 355 grain WFNCG over 11.1 grains of Titegroup ignited with a CCI300 primer.
Low recoil and very very accurate.
I have taken many deer with this load and have never had one run out of sight before dropping over. Shot one doe facing me that bullet exited ran the full length of that doe she rolled over backwards and was down.
Yup one of the best Number 1 ever made.
I have two one I had one made over 15 years ago the other is a new Ruger made rifle.
