well i have been hunting and collecting firearms for 25 years ,and have hunted with more calibers then some have seen.i have heard arguments that this is too small and this is too big,that is less accurate then this.accuracy is mainly in you..what ever gun is more comfortable and fits will shoot better then a very expensive uncomfortable rifle,i have some pretty high end rifles but hunt allot with a 308 handi rifle single shot,because it is very comfortable for me.a $1500 heavy barrel 338 lapua will not take a deer down any better at 200 yds then a $170 handi rifle in 243 if both shots are in the right area.also many guys talk about recoil,recoil in my 20 some years of playing is THE BIGGEST reason for inacuracy.many manly men will say oh that doesnt kick bad but they cannot hit a 55 gallon drum past 200yds,they blame the gun because its not bedded ,its not free floated,not a heavy barrel....when the real reason is its not squeezed its snaped.the moral of this story is i have been around men with $15000 double rifles and men with $400 dollar 06 ,and the man with the more comfotable gun shoots better.ps im not talking shooting from a prone position with a bibod.just my 2 cents

dang, looks like my little post justabout started world war 3.... sorry. merry Christmas everybody!
