CurtissI have had a 750 for nearly 2 years. Mine has the 22" barrel and has proved to be very reliable. It has digested several hundred handloads, and shoots most bullets with decent accuracy, occasional 1.5" groups, but 2 to 2.5 are more common. It has handled some warm loads without problems of any nature. Most consistent bullet, so far, has been the 225 gr Partition. Recently did a rundown with several round nose bullets, and all shot ok except Rem. 200 gr. Planning on using it in the woods for whitetail in 3 weeks.
Extremely easy gun to shoot with low recoil due to comb. of action, weight, & the nifty recoil pad. Trigger could be better. I like the rifle.
I have had a Whelen since the late 80's and have been absolutely delighted with its performance on game.
