I did some price checking today and found a descent deal on a Pro Hunter - $699 blued barrel/comp. stock or $750 SS barrel/comp. stock (both prices are before the $50 rebate). So I will probably go get one Wednesday if I get off work in time. I have read where a 25acp primer gives better performance than some 209 primers but there is no breech plug conversion for the Pro Hunter. Is there anyway around this for a Pro Hunter? If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for everyones advise so far. The ML will be mainly for deer, is a 250gr. bullet enough or should I go to a 300 gr? What kind of primer if I cannot get the conversion to the 25acp? I know everyones gun will fire something a little bit different, but I'm spending enough on the gun, I don't want to have more money wrapped up in powders, primers, and bullets than I do the gun itself
