Wife has placed a moratorium on me until the kids get one, or a needed cause comes along. HBB, send my wife a text saying you're hungry so I can go out and kill something. I'll even use your right handed Model 70.

With a 160 pill, he should still be able to get close to 2900 fps. if he reloads. Go shoot something with it HBB and post a pic so they will quit giving you a hard time.
