A few have gone out locally for pick up driving yote snipers. I think they were concerned about wind and longer ranges. I reckon deer would fall to it as well. I would be interested in the round in a single shot. Or perhaps the 6 mm BR. As for longevity, I wonder myself. Winchester put the wssms out and folded up their tent. Not a good sign. If if is kicking in 3 years, I might go for one.
