I got into it for the extra two weeks and the fact that the rut seems to coincide with the ML season. Now I am increasingly using my Omega during regular firearms season. I'll likely never completely give up my .308 Sako (my Dad's) but I find the one shot mentality along with forever searching for the "perfect load" combination appeals to me.

That being said, I know plenty of hunters that picked up a ML solely for the extra time in the woods and never got beyond the "2-3 pellets and a Power Belt and yer good to go" mindset. Nothing wrong with that.
