    Gun stock was a Cabelas thumbhole type stock, I used a Pentax 4-12-40 scope.
    I also had a muzzel break put on the barrel, the gun shot great!

    The gun didn't jump much, no mre than a 30-06 but it was really loud! Use good ear protection! I urge it!
     OTHER DESCRIPTION  I shot the Sierra 220 grain boattail and piled one shot on top of another. Very good elk load in my opinion, I will use it this fall.
