Thanks for the confirmation sabotloader! No answer at Grand Junction, continious busy signal at Meridian ... I'm going to call the Phoenix store again and inquire - complicating matters is my hunting buddy wants to piggyback on my ML purchase/research so I actually need two of these MLs!

I'm on the westside in Kirkland, but hunt the eastside.

Also- is there any preference to laminate or composite stock here? I'm going w/ the rear peep or ghost sight and understand there may be some mods to the laminate for the peep ... I'm just a bit concerned about increased recoil when using the lighter stocked composite ML.

thanks much!
