I have had some interesting moments when calling with the single shot for sure! It is a 223, shooting 60 vmax bullets at 3100 FPS.. i have yet to blood this rifle, but the end of the month it will get its chance. I only use it when I’m hunting with my buddy, so there is a back up shot so to speak. I hunt quit a bit by myself, and the 22-250 always goes on those trips.
