The recoil doesn't seem too bad IMO, I shoot 200gr. match-grade ammo, so that might help. Despite being 5 rounds and bolt-action, it is by far one of my favorite guns to shoot. I just wish the ammo was more readily available.

PPU states 200gr gets about 2109 ft lbs. That's 2859.42 Joules

I’ve been running different ammo actually sorry I’m so used to running PPU

Thats fine. I'm looking to pick up another 200 round case of 200gr match ammo as soon as I have the money.

I want to get into reloading, but I doubt that would sit well with my apartment managers.

I always say that if I ever move to Alaska (which I have considered a lot) it'll be my moose gun.

Not bad. I don't have an accurate measurement of distance at the range I go to (a practically unregistered plot of mountainside given to the gun community by local govt.). But I can say that I can consistently hit a Simply Lemonade bottle at around 100 meters.

Alpha-57
2020-12-23 05:16:05 UTC  

Provided I can see the bottle.

Alpha-57
2020-12-23 05:18:14 UTC  

Definitely. Not only do you get the fun factor, but also the knowledge that your gun participated in historically significant events. And of course, the wow factor that it brings.
