I couldn't seem to hit anything with it when I was hunting though so I got rid of it. I don't miss the gun but I do miss the caliber. I'm shooting a Weatherby Mark V Accumark these days.

Both are extremely accurate, but my brothers gun was almost 3x as much as mine. I used to have a Accumark in 30-378 and it was extremely accurate as well, but it weighed a ton! If you are going to be doing much hiking, I would recommend looking into a Kimber Montana or a Tikka T3 Lite. My wife shoot a Tikka T3 Lite in 270 wsm and I have been very impressed with the accuracy for the priced. One draw back is the cheap plastic clips that seem to break fairly easily.
