    Doc has her for load development at the moment so I will find out soonish.

    No doubt there will be a video to follow of some unsuspecting Goat getting busted out past 600yds....

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    He doesn't like doing the flutes. He did them but you could tell he hated it. Actually, he used the term "ruin the rifle". Let's hope it shoots or Ben will get it in the neck.

    It's long. .. not sure how long but long. Won't get carried far as it's really a long range rig for goats and critters. Something to learn to shoot further with. My son is keen on hunting now after mowing a goat a few weeks back so I'm looking at a really light rifle for him. Probably Savage model 16 lightweight as they're 5.5 lb and stocks are easily available from Boyds to chop to size.

    Yeah, I've had the same reaction from Mitch so thats why I asked.
    The lightweight savage is nice. I enjoy mine.

    I may be really behind the times, so maybe you can help. What is the obsession a lot of people have with these over-sized bolt knobs. I have been hunting for a fair while now and I can honestly say that I have never missed out on a deer from not being able to find and grab the bolt knob. And look at WWII. All thier rifles had normal sized bolt knobs...and thier lives depended on thier rifle.
