Gentlemen,

Points taken. And thank you for your input.

I represent a classic case of a prospective newbie double buyer. In order to educate myself, I shall have to travel a bit and hit some of the more prominent shows to see these rifles in person. Wyoming does not offer a lot of opportunity to study the arms!

As I muddle my way through this venture, I shall keep you all up to speed and query your expertise.

It's really nice to have such a range of expertise available here.

Thanks to all.
