GreyGhost85 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 My girlfriend is in need of a new deer rifle and these seem like they will fit the bill perfectly. Checking to see if anyone has one the would part with before i buy new. I would like one that is threaded. Not really interested in anything else. Thanks in advance!

duxngeez Report post Posted March 30, 2017 You will love it. I believe all of the American predators are threaded. Try the 143 gr eldx, you won't be disappointed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a pile of 6.5 bullets including those for my .264 winchester. I hear the are a great value Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted March 30, 2017 It's a GREAT gun for the money and very accurate! Every one I've seen shoots 1/2 moa with 143 eldx Hornady Precision ammo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 Daughter shoots this gun with 120gr AMAX, good gun. Â That is probably what i'll end up shooting. Her current rifle beats her up really bad and she's developed a serious flinch. I will spin a brake on it and try the lighter bullets. I want absolutely as little recoil as possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5alivefishing Report post Posted March 30, 2017 Great rifle, it will outshoot my Kimber Hunter hands down. It loves the 120 gr A max. It accounted for three deer last year. The two groups shown are the A max. All the deer were taken with ELDX. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustin25 Report post Posted March 31, 2017 With the eldx and a vais brake on mine it barely kicks at all.... I don't know the numbers on it,but to me,the felt recoil is less then half of my much heavier .270 rifle. Great shooting rifle too,by the way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
