hoppdoc,
Been a couple of years on he 8x60 but if memory the 'bombe' or magnum load is closer to the 300 H&H than the 06. Pretty good out to 300 yds and my Geyger shot into a 1 inch circle with both barrels at 100 yds. I was going to use it for plains game. Front trigger was set and with a scope it was almost perfect. Believe it or not if had not had a horn trigger guard i would still have it. Bought a metal unfinished to fit but it was so rough I just said to hell with it and traded.
