I hear ya. I got it off the truck slapped a SS3x15 on it shot three groups with amax140's first group went well under an inch. I pulled the scope put the gun back in the cabinet called dad and told him he could have it he just needed a scope. He watch d th kiddos all weekend while I chased coyotes and the wife worked. I grabbed some 123 ELD on the way home for him he helps us tons and I thought he would get more use than I would out of a creedmoor. 😏.
