Loading a rifle tedious? You either load a mag or a rifle, same thing. I could go on, but, to each his own I guess. mtmuley

A bit of a first world problem, but if your hunting situation has you in and out of your vehicle or over obstacles (like fences) it can be a pain. If you just sit in the same stand all day, ya, pretty much no more bother.

MtMuley, this is probably just a preference thing why you like what you do, and if it works (which I am sure it does) great. But you only load a magazine once, then it stays loaded. With a floor plate you have to load it every time, and that to me IS tedious. Not to mention spare bullets jingling in my pockets.

How many rounds does your rifle carry? Mine either carry 4 or 2, and almost always that is enough, but not 100% of the time.

Looks like I might have to start saving my lunch money. Wish it had a litter faster twist that 1 in 9.25".

Hope it works out. I'm in conversation with my accountant (wife) on a purchase myself. Factory twist has to satisfy the masses. mtmuley

I see Steve recommends 1 in 9" for the 143 Hammer Hunter. I haven't put for the proposal to the CFO on this one. Might just ask for forgiveness.

So I can pick one of these up NIB for about $650. I need to poke around and see if I can fine one to get my hands on, looking for thoughts and opinions on the gun. I'd probably get it either in 7mm HT or 280. Remington.

It would be an all around, hunt everything backcountry type gun.
