I am well aware that it is a lot of money to invest in one rifle, but then again, how many rifles like that am I ever going to need to buy? One?

I have never been one to shy away from spending money on good equipment, and with rifles and scopes you can't go wrong when buying for quality.

I know that some people have expressed their concern over the rifle being too light, and I don't think that this will be a problem for me. I use my sling to really sure up off hand shots, and the shooting stix will help with rested shots.

Thank you for everyone's opinion so far.
