Well sometimes priorities come with home ownership. I can understand why the wife might have told you no. That money might do more good in other places.

I'd get a Optima. I have both the Kodiak and Kodiak Pro, there OK but there's some things I dont like about them like the Trigger Mec is ermantly ttached to the Barrel, this makes cleaning a Hassle. But both are good shooters.
I like the Optima because it has a Bergaga Barrel.

The boss told you NO!? Looks like its time to find a new job....lol Been there - heard that many times Corey. Anyway, that Wolf you got should be a good shooter. I've heard good reports about them. I just don't care for the short barrels on them. But that is just a personal opinion. Can't wait to hear some range reports - after your house work is done of course....

Save your money and use the guns you got so you can go hunting.

Shoot I thought it did, I just assumed it had a Bergara Barrel, My Bad if it does'nt. That was the main selling point to getting one if I ever did.
