Ken, I've posted this a few places, and sent an email inquiry to an old E-dress I had for you, and then somebody at HuntAmerica told me you had your own forum over here. I think thats great! I'm assuming you moderate it yourself, (must be a relief). I'm finally getting around to doing something concrete towards a .220 Howell. Is the CZ 24 a suitable start? I'm hoping to stay married through this project so a dakota is probably not in the cards. BD
