I love mine, it shoots extremly well would recomend 7mm08.A bit better on recoil and flatter shooting.Took an antelope in Wy. at 170 yards and dropped it flat(140 gr.winchester ballistic)Also took 2 deer here in NY one at 175 yards (droped in tracks) and one at 150 yards Fell got up and ran 60 yards and died. Also killed a coyote with it at 80 yards.I have a 2 x 7 Burris scope and it works well.The main thing to remember to shot it well is practice and a good steady rest
