My first new real shooter in many many years. I bought my self a Christmas gift at Cabela's.
It's 10Lbs. 26" barrel 8 twist and I cant wait to start tuning it for some of those little raggedy holes. It has a one piece 20 MOA picatinny rail. I'm considering changing it out with one I found with a level integrated in the rear. That seams to be a good start. They say it's a 1000 Yd.+ shooter. Although I can't think of many places to shoot it other than farms and power lines in northern Michigan and the UP. 600 Yds. is more realistic to me. As long as its a well placed shot. I'm pretty Shure paper will be its main diet. I hope to pop baby aspirin's at 200 Yds. That's the kind of tuning I hope to get. The receiver is one of those Accu-Stocks. Hmm Well see. The barrel has a nice gapy float to it. But it looks good. I could have doubled the cost and had a fully adjustable stock. but Ill see what I have to work with after I scope it. SCOPE can be a big word when ya look at the prices. I likely will be a few months before I finalize the selection. at this point looks like $500-700 might do it. 4-16 with a old school Mill Dot. A Recital with Clear glass and some thing not too heavy blocking out what I want to see. But heavy enough to see where I am in a dark back ground of trees... Those new set ups have the new school prices $2-3,000+ on them. Well look out coyote's and Maby a nice big buck that feels secure way out there.
If any one has any suggestions I welcome comments.
Feel free to put in your two cents.
