I had a McMillian match barrel contoured, installed and the rifle bedded by a AMTU gunsmith at Ft Benning. Heck of a job shooting there pdman! You did great. You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice. Doug
