Thanks RDuck. I have wanted one for sometime but every time i find one in stock I had other things that required the funds. This time I found one and decided it was time and pulled the trigger. I hope they shoot as well as everyone talks about. I plan on shooting out to a maximum range of 6-700 but going to spend the foreseeable future shooting at 1-200 to get my breathing and trigger work where it needs to be to stretch it out further.

I do not hand load yet. I do have a press, dies, etc. Just need to do some more reading and educating myself on the subject. It will come in time. I honestly think the rifle will out shoot me with factory ammo for quite some time.
