The 7x57 has brought home deer on many occasions, I hope to bloody the M600 soon.

But I feel the same about the 870, I'd never get it in 20 gauge. Rootbrain

I used Boyds Thumbhole varmit, same laminate type, half the price. Not as many "pretty" colors, but half the price ($99) and perfect fit for my ADL -> BDL Detmag conversion using the Wyatt's Outdoor .308 trigger kit. The barrel is free float, but I haven't done the bedding, not sure I'll need to. Got to see how she shoots first, then decide.

And check out their custom options, pretty cool. I got the laser engraved Bald Eagle head on my stock. An extra $20 but worth it to me for the "Hey! Neat!" factor.

Steve Cal Steve Cal's Profile Copper BB Posts: 4 Joined: Sat Feb 15, 2014 2:17 pm	Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2014 10:04 pm I would prefer a .308. BUT. I was given a .243 with scope for Christmas from the family. "I love this gun." Hay. They are family. Just did some trading and in the trade is a Remington 700 in .280. Never heard of .280 until now. Took both to the range and put a box apiece thru them. Don't know which I like better. The .280 ammo IS kinda pricey.
