All I drive is Safe Queens and I start pamperin' them,before they's even fully removed from their shipping containers(I put on nitrile gloves for handlin'). IMHO,THE key is careful break-in and full focus upon bore management and a great Log Book,from which to bank CBS correlations with POA/POI extrapolations,along with Fouling mannerisms. FL virgin cases and jump nekked boolits,for max efficiency.
Start at the startLooked 'bout right. sub .5MOA at 700+ ain't enough to get excited about,but itsa start and will crunch Critters.
BIG Critters.
Issued guise seemed to be unfair,so decided to camo it up.
Camo seems to be workin' fine.
I mean BIG Critters.
Was eyephucking it here a few minutes ago and I think the paint needs another coat of wax. That'll be a good afternoon project. Serial number covered,due the early versions having F/F "issues". Laffin'!

I'd rate it to be in about 98% condition,it's saving grace due the fact that it don't get schlepped but mebbe 5% of the time. I realize the Collector Value,as for some reason these particular rifles have a Cult Following,but I'd rather just use it every now and again and gawk it's splendor...rather then sell or trade it for sumptin' I'd actually use.
Do have a few that look like they get used though,but my heart will always be in Safe Queens,thus the affinity here.
Cheer up...I might have me a couple/few spares,in th event that the new gets knocked offa dis one.
