Nope, had one, sold it...was a nice rifle (Browning A-bolt II) but the cartridge just didn't float my boat. It really doesn't offer anything that the .30-06 couldn't (even trajectory due to poor BCs), save for burning more powder, having more recoil, and with expensive and somewhat difficult to find loaded ammo. The slightly shorter action, and slightly lighter weight (only a few ounces) was negligible because the straight walled short cartridge seemed to catch a little (but not really bind) when feeding making it slower to operate. I think I'll be stickin' with conventional magnums, or more than likely non-magnum cartridges for most stuff.
