A friend is using a bolt gun and Varget with the 105 hpbt. It’s definitely not a speed demon but he had 6 shots under 3” at 600yds the last time he took it for a drive.

My .260 Remington would be the last I would let go of. I’m still mad I didn’t buy one of the ADL .260’s when they rereleased them with the 8 twist.
Another one that I really enjoy is the .358 Winchester.
