For me. An upper level Mossberg Patriot, which is still quite affordable. Walnut Stock, Fluted Bolt, Adjustable Sights, Detachable Magazine and Recoil Pad. Also, has Mossberg's version of the Accutrigger that is very good.
Ordered some Hornady FTX Bullets because they are designed for lower velocities. I'll work up some reduced loads for more general use. Looking at around 2500 fps with a 200 grain. Helped a friend do this years ago and recoil was 30-06ish.
I do have a couple of hunts in mind where full throttle loads will be needed. An entry level gun, but seems very well made. Think it may be ideal for a few limited applications...
