    Have had a couple. Last one was a tricked Sako A7 and was near faultless.

    For about the same fuss you got a margin over the .243 and the 120NBT is a brilliant bullet. Ive got 150 of them waiting for the next 7-08
    Another for the 708. Mines good for 5-500 yds. Point and shoot to 220yds. Easy to dial after that. 16” barrel. 140 bt at 2580 or a 120gn at 2900. Plenty of killing power for anything.

    223 would be a close second.
