Any dies or fired shells ? Hal Yes dies come with rifle and one fired piece of brass. I have interest in just the optic, I'm willing to split it up if I find somebody that wants the rifle with no optics. Last edited by jmcdguns; 03/02/24.

All of the grain "cathedrals" perfectly centered on the bottom of the butt stock. Cool rifle. GLWYS !
