Actually, when you figure the scope is almost $300.00 the $300.00 for the rifle does not seem all that bad. Also with that 1-24 barrel made to shoot conicals, if I were living in an area that was conical only, this would be a very serious consideration to my hunting needs.

I might have to get me that one, or a custom one pretty soon. After all I have been really good not buying rifles. I have not purchased one for a couple month (I think).
