Thanks BSA. I was *this close* to giving up on the rifle and letting someone else sort it out...that's what stubbornness will do for a guy. Benchmark had worked really well for me in other .223s, but I'm glad I decided to give X-Terminator a whirl. I've got six or seven pounds sitting here with nothing else to do. If it makes the rifle happy, I'm happy.

I guess you edited...and you made me look at my rifle again. You're right! I didn't even know what rings and bases I have on it...they're Leupold DDs!


Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
