Just can't say thank you enough to him. It is a dream rifle. Thank you. I think I might have a problem though, the ladies of the house seem to really like the blued steel and wood... Can't say I blame them though.

HA! Can't wait to get out and give it a whirl on the range. Might try making a few milk jugs beg for mercy too.. :lol: Semper Fi

Now you just need that .348 cal bullet mold that's in the classifieds. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

If she wants to claim it as her own, that's okay, I will still get to shoot it once in awhile! Semper Fi

Feels good to just shoot it rather than being strapped to a bench. I've got some loads ready but I'm almost having more fun just shooting it! I'll get some work done soon though. From what I've seen it looks plenty accurate. Semper Fi

From what I've seen it looks plenty accurate. I hear that. I guess I should have said, let us know how what you think of it after you shoot it. They are just a kick in the pants to shoot..

You really scored! Congrats. Originally Posted by bsa1917hunter I hear that. I guess I should have said, let us know how what you think of it after you shoot it. They are just a kick in the pants to shoot.. Yeah, it is awesome. A ton of fun and recoil is actually pretty mild too. I did stuff one of the 200 grain Silvertips into the jugs. Semper Fi

Right now I am running RL17 in mine. Seems to work really well for accuracy and velocity. Like I said, I ordered some Woodleighs, but maybe I should have called Hawk or something cause it seems like all of the 250's aren't available right now. I do plan on finalizing my zero with these.. I haven't benched the rifle yet, but so far, it seems to shoot real well. Semper Fi

If memory serves me right, it was using H-4350 but I just don't remember the amount. Give me a few and I'll come up with stuff for you. j A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance.
