All in due course....the 260 is still gonna be a thing although gotta admit been giving strong thought to another 270 if the right one comes along
This rifle in reality is a 200 yard rifle at most it's only got a 1-4 scope so not really leg stretching stuff also the 150gn starts to drop quite fast and it's not a dial up scope nor does it have a bdc type reticle.
Gotta admit the lever is very addictive to shoot I'm really enjoying shooting it, not like my varmint and long range guns when they go to the range it's all about get it sighted then put it away. The lever just begs to be shot alot
