Thanks for the tips everyone. I’ll get a good feel for it at the range next weekend. I popped off a few rounds with iron sights at 25 yards since I’m in the country, but I’ll probably put a couple of boxes through it soon and get it sighted in.
I’m a little torn on changing out stocks. On one hand I want to keep it in good shape, since I do not intend to ever part with it until I’m old and gray, but I’m also inclined to hunt with it in original form. I’m only a couple of years into hunting big game but I’ve already climbed up through devil’s club and shouldered my way through clear cuts on Prince of Wales, and I’m thinking I’ll probably just take a different rifle if I’m hunting in nasty terrain. It will be a good gun for anything a little more open, like nilgai down here in Texas.
