Don, I was a bit over 3 years waiting on it. Man I can tell you it was worth the wait. Love the way the thing holds. Won't be able to shoot it until Sunday, so she'll get broke in in the heat of battle, at the 30 shot 500 yard match in Cheyenne. The rounds for my hi wall fit this chamber like a glove, so it they shoot as well in this rifle, it should be a pretty good day, once I get the sight setting.
