2Triggers,

Thank you for the very generous offer... I may take you up on it.

400NE,

Yeah, the only thing JJ said that was remotely negative was it had some minor pitting on the left barrel. Everything else passed muster so should be good to go.

Why don't you use an expander or crimp with DR ammo?

Rest assured this rifle will only be getting the best of everything once it comes to live with me. I will not be cheaping out on anything... let alone dies.

Which bullet (Woodleigh or Hawk) should be my range bullet (ie: easiest on the barrels)?
