Nice. What do you plan on using it for? I appreciate all the kind words...thank you!! I plan on using this rifle to hunt deer here in PA and WVA. Gonna zero it about an inch high at 100 yds....most shots will most likely be 150 yds or less.

Another nice piece turned out by Elkhorn Precision. I think you might keep this one a while Jeff.

Not really.....where I hunt here in PA and WVA is pretty heavily wooded and very thick...some places can't see much further than 100 yds!! Of course there are exceptions and it won't just get used here at home in PA................
