Xausa,

Thanks, I didn't want to use too much force in any one direction until I found out what I was doin'.

I like using iron sighted rifles and this one is very handy as is, if I do put a scope on it for load development it probably won't stay long.

You should have seen our PH's face last year when my wife and I showed up in RSA with two rifles, no scopes. He actually asked me "do you own a rifle with a scope?". We worked a little harder and had a little more fun.

I paid $800 for the rifle and a box of Federal 270gr ammo. Now the expensive part is the rifle and I want to go back to Africa.
