I agree 100% on the whole theory(that is if it trips your trigger go for it) buuuut just wanted to ask the experts. Its not a private seller but a gun store and the price is the price. Last year i jumped on a 1950 EG in 250 sav with a Redfield peep, and of course the bug now has me. I will hunt with the EG but a nice little carbine in .308win would be the schitt, especially with a 1-5X Leupy on it. The other problem is i just had a kid so wifey would have to be kept in the dark.... Guess you guys dont know anything about that......;) Thanks for the replys, good huntin...
