Trust me, they are a bitch to restock! That is the most accurate gun that I've ever shot, at least to 300 yards! With Hornaday 200 gr RN and 50 gr IMR 4064 it shoots 1/2 MOA at 300 yards. I'm hoping the Browning will come close with the right ammo. Some factory ammo shoots under 1 MOA , I don't have time or room to hand load anymore. BTW, I tried a Cabbelas scope = junk. Marlin now has a Leopold

It sounds like a lot of people are switching to 6mm Creedmoor. It also uses high BC bullets at similar velocity, but with even less recoil than the 6.5 Creedmoor. It's accurate too. A guy named Jim Richards shot a 2.6872-inch 10-shot group at 1,000 yards. That's about 1/4 MOA. For 10 shots! At 1,000 yards! 1 MOA would be 10.47 inches at 1,000 yards.
