Yepper! That be the one! It's gonna be SWEET! It was sweet before the chop job! We've got some new friends with a beaver problem and it's open season on them here because they're a serious problem from what I understand. At least the fish and game authorities think they're enough of a problem to declare an open season! The new rifle needs to shoot sub MOA at 300 yards (which I don't think is much to ask) because our area of cover is about that distance. It shouldn't be a problem. It was built by a well known and reputable builder over this way and he cut the chamber on the shy side of go/no-go so it "should" never have excessive headspace. He also told me that he cut it so that I should be able to seat everything except for the shortest bullets (such as 110gr) to enage lands on lock-up! I'll be sure and send you photos of Killer when he shoots it for the first time! :-)
