Stick,<P>Sorry to hear your heading back to work. [img]images/icons/frown.gif" border="0[/img]<P>I'm headed to the sporting good store in the morning, I'll look in the used rack for a short M700. Don't recall seeing one there last week though.<P>Yep, this is my first 3/8 inch bore rifle. I've wanted one since before my 416 Taylor project. Those long slender "banana's" just look so cool. I'm not sure if I'll take it hunting around here. The stainless "short .416" is more up to the task of riding around in an open skiff. This rifle will be reserved for the nice days and hopefully a trip to South Africa!<P>Now I need to find a way to get Reloader 15 in 5lb containers! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]<P>Hard part is going to be scoping this rifle. The wife is not gonna be pleased if I ask for another $400!<P>Anyone want to trade a Leupold DGR scope for a Leupold 2.5x8 EER scope? I got one mounted on an Encore, and I never use it.
