Bill Allen......The issue of weather or not the 1000 rounds is going to play a major part in your decision to purchase the rifle in my humble opinion is nothing to worry about.

However, I would be much more concerned as how the rifle groups ammo shot in it now, with you pulling the trigger OK. The weight of the rifle is certainly something to address if your going to be carrying the gun up and down hills etc. I have a 6mm with a bull barrel and it does get heavy after several set ups before noon. If in a stationary position for long periods of time, it will not be a concern.

My wife shoots a .243 model 70 in a featherweight and it is all the deer rifle a person needs, if they place the bullet into the vitals of that deer. I personally drove a 100 grain bullet through almost 7.5 inches of solid wood at less than 70 yards. So it does have enough penetration on any whitetail buck with a well constructed bullet.
