Drover: Sounds like a great rig you have there - and economical to boot!
I am into my 700 VTR and its used Leupold scope about double and a half of your amount ($700.00).
I would sure be happy with 1/2 groups from the 40 grainers from my rig!
I will be working on that as the wind allows.
I use VV N-133 powder in a couple of my Rifles and for the life of ME - I can not find any of it on store shelves to save myself. Have you seen it for sale of late?
I am just about fed up with this "component shortage".
I see no let up in sight for these shortages and high prices.
Drat.
Hold into the wind
