I have a couple of 14s,and 141s ,all in 35 Rem, I load all of my own ammo,and use Sierra, or Hornady,200gr R.N. bullets. One particular Mod 14 that I have will astonish most people that see the results of of my 5 shot groups @ 100 yards ! I have been offered many Remington ,Winchester,and even a Kimber rifle ,as even up trades. I'll never give up my 14s or 141s . They are great little guns ,and I'm sure you will enjoy yours. I really enjoy mine.
