About 1.5 MOA for the first trip with 140 NP's and 150 Sierra GK's using H4350. I look forward to more good time at both benches. No chrony today. My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

What are your thoughts on it? Good fit and finish? Can you post some more pics of it? "Never miss the opportunity to shut the f$%K up." Colonel Hopewell.

I like the matte finish with the Circassian walnut. I'll get some more pics up as time allows. My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
