This one was built 1989/90 time frame.
15" heavy barrel .25-284.
I has worn four different scopes over the years
first scope was a Burris 2-7x (highest power available at the time)
When I came home from England in '95, it got a Burris 3-9x (Burris introduced it whilst I was living in England).
Burris introduced the 3-12x a couple years later, so scope got swapped again.
Then Burris released their Ball-plex, so it got a 3-12x Ball plex.

My load (safe in this gun) launches the 100 gr Nosler Partition at just a tad shy of 3100 fps.

The Ball plex reticle is almost perfectly spot on at 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500.

Ive killed a fair number of pronghorns with it, and a small pile of deer.
