O.k. That's a start. I have a Burris 2x7 with the Ballisti- plex and posilock that I had on my 30-06 15" Encore that I am going to mount onto this barrel. I don't suppose that the recoil will be as severe off the bench as the '06, which is why I traded for it in the first place.
Our local range is but 100 yards, so I'll have to dig deep and see where I'll need to have the groups @100 so they'll be usable farther on out....
