prairie_goat - "There are better designs out there for the varmint/hunting role, such as the Mcmillan Hunter, or Manners MCS-T." Those are some good choices. Not being nit picky but those stocks mentioned are a bit $$ compared to B&C etc. Now, IF money no object then I'd say get the best you can afford. Full Disclosure:I did not win the $1.6B powerball either. Homesteader
