This has been my go-to rifle for the last 8-10 years. I picked it up used, found the McMillan Edge stock used and bought the scope on clearance at Cabelas so I don't all that much invested in it. The scope is the old Zeiss Conquest 3-9X40 with Cabelas badges on it. When they discontinued them at $200 I bought 2. Cartridge is 308, but I'm convinced any of about a dozen other cartridges would do as well. Weight as pictured is 7 3/8 lbs, recoil is mild even with hotter 180 gr loads. It consistently shoots well under 1 MOA with just about anything I put in the chamber.
I primarily hunt whitetails or black bear here the north GA mountains, but have hunted elk with it in Colorado. I'm confident in its ability from 40-400 yards on anything I'll ever hunt.
