I absolutly love the 100 gr. Seirra Gamekings push by a full charge of IMR 7828 at over 3100 fps. Killed a 9pt. back in 2007 on a power line easement at 367 yards, double lung pass thru, DRT.

The primary reason is because it's HER gun and even if she's not present, she wants me hunting with HER gun. That being said, no way a $300 gun is in the same ballpark as a $1,000 gun. At least not in my world.
Her gun shoots a legitimate 1/2 moa. I've got nearly $2,500.00 in the gun, gunsmithing, and optic (optic was $1,300).
I am of the mindset that you get what you pay for and buy once, cry once.
Maybe I'm wrong...
