my friend had one...well...it was a 700PSS...few years earlier...his was chambered in 308.....shot pretty good but nothing AWESOME.....but he also probaly burnt the barrel out of it....we would sit there with it and a case of ammo and just shoot till our shoulders were sore.....that heavy barrel got HOT and STAYED hot.......his gun.....his ammo.....i didnt care if he didnt care! lol kinda big and bulky.....but i guess thats why its a "police sharp shooter" not made to be light.....
