Your rifle and mine sound a lot alike, although mine is a bit chubbier, but it balances well and I have shot a few coyotes out past 250 yards by merely placing my elbow on my knee... One running coyote that was hit so perfectly there had to have been another shooter, I was amazed. You will be pleased how that handles on the predator calling stands and over sand bags! To top it off, shes as sexy as can be!
