RE: my first rifle
You did well sir; that will be a FINE hunting rifle!
FYI, Natchez Shooters Supply hasNikon Monach 5.5-16.5x44BDC scopes on sale for a great price ($289) while supplies last.
I love my Savage 111 270 Win. The onlydifference between yours and mine is yours willbe stainless (mine blue).
Post some pictures when you get it andlet usknowwhat bullet it likes.
Good luck this year, be safe and God bless.
