Very nice and nice gun. Long range hunting is good if you know WTH you're doing and know your limits.......... :tup:

I will get a close as I can before I shoot.  With that being said, I have a lot of time behind a bolt gun, and I would never take a shot I didn't feel good about.  The reality of rifle hunting in this state is most areas look like a construction zone there is so much orange.  The odds are where my family and stuff hunts, if I can see an animal, so can 3 others.  Being able to shoot first is sometimes half the battle.  This is just a tool for me to increase my odds.  I consider myself a precision hunter.  Not a long range hunter.  Whether I am shooting 100 yards or 1000 yards I won't take the shot if I don't feel good about it and I will approach each shot in a precise manor.  An ethical hunter is ethical at 100 yards or 1000 yards it doesn't change.  I passed up on about 4 deer that weekend because the shot wasn't right.  One was at 200 yards, the others were about 500 yards.

You don't need to justify your actions to anybody on HW. Good job and keep it up.....  :tup:

$720 for that gun.  And it shoots pretty well.  I did a review on the gun a few weeks ago on H-W.
was that you with the pics of it in the garage? Ive got a similar gun in .308 with a Viper PST 4-16x50 on it. Love it, now I want a .300 RUM wth a 6-24x50 viper on it

Yes its the same gun as the one in the garage that I posted.  This gun comes in long action only though.

I think they used to call mine the Police Model... almost Identical minus the obvious short action.. Only thing I didn't like on mine was the trigger.
