Smoke-You will love this rifle. I put Williams fiber optic sights on mine(old eyes).Shoots PRB great with 56/60grs and is deadly with sabots and conicals. My hunting load is 90gr BM3 under a 260gr Nosler Partition HG.

That is a great rifle. I am sure you are going to like the rifle and the way it shoots. I have mine turned into a 12 gauge shotgun at present time. Doing some grouse hunting with it. And I know for a fact that Fox Ridge Outfitters have a left handed 12 gauge barrel because I sent it back.

Good luck with your rifle.
