I looked to see if we had a Smiley for "drooling", but we don't. Damn...

Looking at that thing is driving me insane. Compared to it, the Rem 700 VLS in .308 Win I just got is just a Daisy airgun...

Ah, yes, the ammo: $205 for Federal Premium Cape-Shok Ammunition 416 Rigby 400 Grain Barnes Triple-Shock X-Bullet, Box of 20 at MidwayUSA:

The plinking stuff is cheaper: only $74 for a box of 20 Hornady 400 gr. FMJ.

Good God...

yeah, feeding this thing will be expensive.
but, not exactly the gun you spend all day at the range plinking with either.

i will get some pics up.

really a well built rifle!

Now, if you were reloading, you could make your own ammo for this monster for about $1.20 a round:

$0.30 brass (Hornady brass, $1.50 a round re-used 5X)
$0.22 powder, 90 grains
$0.66 bullet, Hornady 400 gr. FMJ-RN
$0.03 primer, Federal #215
-------
$1.21

At that rate, the money you'd save reloading would pay for the Emergency Room visit to put your shoulder back in place after each shooting session!
