    I am a lefty, better looking and more intelligent i say....... It does and im not such a ruger fan. They are solid and accurate shooters but not my cup of tea. For a truck gun heavy is sweet as. for long distance walking keeping it under 5kg overall is important. When you are pulling the trigger weight is your mate.

    Yeah go 243 or 6mm xc 260 and get a reamer to suit projectiles you are running. any thing with work a. I watch some of the prs shooting and follow the gears they are using. If you focus futher out it is good practice at all ranges. The higher the b.c the less effort you need to put into wind calls. Direction is the most important factor with the wind. not strength obviously. Bryan Litz has some interesting videos.
