EKM, It is doing just fine. I have to admit that my first shot after it was given to me even though I was prepared dang near put me on my butt! LOL However, the ammo that was also given to me were 300 grainers. I did go good however with one heck of a bruise. I am just a tad stubborn. Hee Hee Now I take it out periodically and shoot 2 groups of 3, just to know that I am accurate....and am using 200 grainers now.....major difference. [8D]
Most of the time it has its spot of affluence in the gun safe waiting for that African Safari or Grizz hunt someday. I have not put a scope on it yet, however it is amazing how accurate it is open sighted!
For the most my I will stick with my trusty 30.06 w/ 180 grainers. Gotta love that rifle as it as never let me down! Alway one shot, one kill. My Pre-64 Winchester 375 H&H mag is to much gun for Whitetails IMO. LOL Can't imagine why........ I am proud that I know if and when I need it I am proficient enough to do what would need to be done. Thanks for asking...... I knew that you would remember my friend.
