Am considering buying the above in 30.06, SS with synthetic stock, fancy piece of glass on top. To be first hunting rifle -- deer and thereabouts for game. Have looked around a little, but honestly not shot much.
Am considering the BOSS system because it seems, at least theoretically, to eliminate some of the variability associated with changing ammo from on grain to another. 30.06 simply because it's the most likely ammo to be found in any general store in Mugwump, Ark. or wherever. SS and synthetic so I won't worry about dinging the furniture. Also, this thing is very carriable, seems to be half the weight of a friend's Weatherby Vanguard in 270 Win.
I am looking at $650 for the gun, and a Leupold will run 300 +/-. It's certainly no steal, but it seems like a pretty high quality package for just under a grand.
Anybody experience the BOSS system -- positively or negatively. Any other thoughts or suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
