@gimp was the first person I remember hunting with one. He might chime in.
It works fine but I sold mine to get a lighter factory rifle, my mate still has it and most recently shot a bull tahr at like 485m with it, it died. Depending on what you're actually intending on using it for it might be a total waste of time and money to bother (customrifles.txt)
planning to set my 260 barrel back and ream to 6.5x47 to make better use of my mag length but still use 120-130s maybe stubby 140s due to 1:9 twist have a personal max of 350m maybe 400m but that be max for me comfortably
sounds like you need set back and ream to gaymore
Gaymores love a good reamingQuote:

I’ve surgically removed a few stinkies out around 400m with mine but it’s heavy, an R8 with match barrel in the Blaser/GRS laminated stock with an ATACR on top. Needs a Gun carriage...
