I was considering having it shortened to 25" and re crowned. Where I will be hunting will be a mix of short tight shots to a few hundred yards. I definitely understand where and what you mean lonewulf, and am trying to split the difference as best as possible between handy yet also perform as highly as possible.
Since I am moving to upstate New York in July this year, I wanted something a little different and considering this is something I have been wanting took the plunge.
Are the leades and throats on these rifles fairly long? Accuracy wise, would it be better to stick with the heavier weights, or would some lighter ones be good to try too? I have read with much interest on the members here who have used woodleigh bullets, and curious how these would perform in this round
