I'm getting more optimistic - seems to be a well regarded gun, if inexpensive. Trigger, crown and 8x40 screws being done right now. She'll get a leupold vari-x iii 3.5-10x40 duplex. Given how flat they shoot i don't feel the need for a turret or a ballistic reticle (yet).
Think I'm going to order a box of the 80gr TTSX and see how she does. I've already got a box of the 115 Ballistic tips. I'm afraid the 80 grainer may be a little short/light for a 10" twist but I guess I'll just have to try it and see.
Thanks for the feedback.
