This past year i put an antelope, and a deer in the freezer that were killed by 120 grain 6.5mm Ballistic Tip bullets. The bullet passed through both animal, and both dropped right there, right now. Both were high shoulder shots.

The rifle used was kinda full sized, but it was a little shorter, and a little lighter than it would have been had it been a bolt action. The barrel was a 'match' barrel, and heavier than most, but the over all weight of the rifle was less than most hunting rifles, because there was no bolt. The falling block action allowed using a very accurate heavy barrel, without making the rifle too heavy.

It seems to be a full sized rifle, length of pull is a tad too much when i wear warm clothing. Over all length is kinda short, even though the barrel is 24 inches long; still think it is a full sized rifle though.
