Congrats on your new rifle ! i think i should point this out to you. if you use a scope that requires a high mount/base combo your head will almost be raised all the way off the stock because of the lack of a cheek peice. other than that it will make a great gun for any purpose the 223 can preform. mine shoots .25 moa with handloads at 100 yards, i hope your rifle shoots just as good or better.
