I have been considering one of the weathershield models in 308 or 7mm Rem Mag. They look to be really well built.

I am interested in that rifle.....

Why don't you give us a "field review" of your experience with this firearm? I would love to hear it. How is that "new" style of rifling working for you. What ammo does it like. Did you have to special order it....Cost (doesn't have to be exact)? What is the trigger like? What bolt came with yours? Etc.....

Does it really shoot less than MOA?

This gun has killed several yotes 17 since august. I mainly use shougun. It is the most accurate gun i have ever shot besides Benchrest guns. i can take this gun and bust eggs at 338 yds. It shoots with factory ammo .6 MOA and with reloaded ammo .25, .3 sometimes 5 shots in 1 hole depends on the day. It weighs i think 8 pds with a heavy 22in fluted barrel and a laminated Stock with a cork handle grip. The gun is short but very accurate. Its tough in the field holds up to all the test I have given it. It cost 950 when I bought it and they had a 150 dollar rebate I got also. I bought it when it first come out in august. It really like 52 gr bullets. Any more questions just ask. here are some pixs has a nikon monarch 6-24-50 on it

I really like the looks of the rifle.

How is the trigger?

Does it come with more than one bolt? Is the the bolt in the picture the "round" one (not the "butter knife")?

It just comes with one bolt. but they say you can buy different ones. the trigger goes down to 3 lbs i wish it was more. i may put a half pound trigger on it but i like a touchy trigger
