Well I have shot a lot of rabbits when I was younger. Started off with shotguns then it was to easy like shooting fish in a barrel. Then .22LR Rifles then that became to easy and off to Handguns. With Rifles and handguns I just aimed for the head. I like to eat rabbit but with the Big Game...
That’s a tough one either a Model 70 Custom Grade or Remington 700 Custom C Grade In .280 Rem with Control Mounts and Rings and Leupold Scope 2.5x8 36mm with a Montana Sling.
Looking forward to a range report. If it becomes a favorite in your stable, I would love to see this rifle in Control Mounts and bases, I have never used them my self but they sure are nice looking for a Classy And Expensive Rifle.

I use these Bullet’s and Brands and why.
# 1 Big Game Bullet’s Nosler why Performance on Game.
# 2 Varmint’s Hornady V-Max and Sierra they shoot excellent and cost less.
I have Limbsaver and Pachmayr and Kick-EEZ all are good recoil pads Limbsaver is the hardest to grind to fit. Kick-EEZ are soft and gun needs to be stored muzzle down. Pachmayr Decelerator are excellent as well.
Now on my hunting 1100 3inch Mag I have a Limbsaver. On my 1100 and 11-87 Trap...
