THANKS for the slam just the same
I respect most people's opinions, even those I don't agree with. Just because I don't happen to agree with your idea of a "dream rifle" should be no cause for angst on your part. It's just an opinion (one that I've previously expressed in a thread predating this one as I've already recounted), not a "slam", and a very subjective one at that.
I hope your dream (my nightmare ) is realized someday soon.
