Barm,

So I've got to know... What rifle did you get????

Thanks,

Hey Jerry,

It is a Cooper 38 with the Jackson style stock. I know some will hate the Redfield on top, but it is a really nice scope. It is just a little over 12 ounces and has the flexibility of 3-9x, plus it has 2 MOA spaced marks across the windage and elevation. I can dial or hold over with the reticle. I knew I would be shooting Lil Gun loads for groundhogs and reduced loads for small game and wasn't sure how the point of impact might differ. With this reticle I can just hold on a different hash mark to be close enough. The rifle as pictured tips the scale at 7 pounds and 3.6 ounces.
