As for McCain, he deserves respect and recognition for what he endured in battle. The problem is that he hasn't done anything -...

Bottom line if you don't reload and trust 1 company to manufacture the special ammo with proprietary powders the mx is allright.

That is impressive and seems to me quite an increase over the factory 30-30. That puts it right in the same ballpark with the MX and lots of bullet choices.
Don, have you don any testing with the 130 gr. Speer in the AI?

Well, if they go much below $300, it is getting close to the price of a TC Encore barrel alone. I planned for a 25-06 or 264 Win mag Encore Pro-Hunter Barrel later this year. The better money may be for a new rifle.

However, the the Pro-Hunter barrel gives 28" of shooting pleasure. :D

They will be on sale again Mark. Also, you may see if they will still give you the sale price. One Manager told me they would honor the sale price if it wasn't past two weeks but that may have just been his policy. Worth a try though.
