You know, getting laid off has been a good thing. I got a great deal (Victor knows all about it, and I must thank/blame him) so I couldn't pass it up.
Absolutely beautiful wood, and she's mint! Unfired in the box!

I'll send along a range report when I can. She's prettier in person!

Outstanding!
If you need help breaking it in, I will be glad to volunteer. I could have it shooting just fine in , oh, say a couple of years.

I have the same gun and she was NIB.....................oh.............. for about a hour after I picked her up.

She's been a shooter with everything I've tried, you'll be happy.

Now, I just need to find a HG carbine.
