Its as close to Mystic as a gun can get. It performs so much better than its paper balistics would indicate. I have read but can't confirm that the rate of twist in the old Mausers helpmits performance killing power wise. Like I say though, not being a balistics expert, I don't really know. However you hit them with the 6.5, they are not going far. Thats anything up to Grizzly. Who knows maybe them too.
Now Since a guy only needs one deer rifle, What you gonna do with that 7mm-08?
