Hey, I ve got one of those too only with a stainless barrel with black flutes, well two actually. Awesome shooting gun, and will reach out and touch anything you want in a hurry. Got bored a couple hunting trips ago to the big woods and cranked off a few rounds across the canyon and at a 1000yds it only seemed to drop about 3'. Close enough that you could kill an animal with it.

What kind of optics are you going with?

Im a big fan of the VX-3L with its low profile design. I can get down on it much faster

Just wish they werent so expensive. Kinda sad to think you can have basically 3K into a rifle that doesnt have a single custom piece on it

Wish bausch and lamb still made scopes, theyre better than the varx-iii's we have and were only 200 bucks a pop. Another good scope that no one even really seems to remember/know about are the redfield widefields. Its an old *** scope but works badass, plus the extended wide view comes in handy on running shots.

Lol, I remember the Redfield Widefields. I started shooting my dad's 308 when I was 4 and that was the exact scope on it. Shoot speaking of old scopes, the gunshop down the road had an old WWII Unertl scope.
