Had one years ago on a custom P14 with stainless barrel ,but never got to using it and sold it ,more efficient than the other big 30s and better case design ,Bob Penfold from memory used one for all his overseas safari hunting, which was a basic cut down FN Military 98 30-06 rechambered to 308NM[not restocked or anything]a swingover scope mount,[3-9 Leupold scope] so the military sights could be used if need be .Got dropped in the bottom of a river once and knocked around ,one guide said ''ive never seen a client hunt with and old gun like that '',had no trouble dropping anything with it........
