    My buddy has one. I don't know what your intended use is. He shot a deer at about 400 yards with a 195 Berger end to end and it blood shocked a good bit of meat...and turned everything inside to jello....I think it will ruin a deer.

    For 90# Fla deer - -> PASS ON THE 28 !!
    One of the fastest .284" guns made. Right with the 270Wby and Lazzeroni.
    308Win will do it. ---- SAWMAN

    Definately an out west,long range,gun.
    AND - -> only for the bigger animals using the right bullet.
    Pronghorn using ANY bullet - -> uhhhh - -> NO !!
    Possibly the bigger elk or caribou. The bigger mule deer - -> ??
    Bear,other than black - - -> NO !! Best you could do is a 175gr NosPart and I would reccomend a larger caliber.
    The hyper speed, medium bore guns would have no place in my safe. --- SAWMAN

    I have a Christensen Arms 28 Nosler. It’s very flat shooting and recoil is minimal! It’s definitely over kill for around here unless you have a 700yd gas or power line you can hunt.

    I believe with the proper bullet you could kill anything in North American with it even at distance!
