i have five bar's, two o6 and two 270 and a 243. i like all of them, the new one is the stalker in 270 cal. i use the power point 130 gr in the 270 and love it, when i go to my spot that has hogs i take one of the o6 with a 150 gr power point. i use the 100 gr power point in the 243 and have killed a bunch of critters with all of them .one thing about the bar's is you have to keep them clean or face a jam up. once you learn how to take them down and clean the gas piston and bolt they are as easy to clean as any auto firearm. if you have to have a gunsmith clean it you will spend $40.00. but i will do it for $20.00. i live in toccopola ms.
