Well you got a great rifle. Nothing to feel bad about. Semisane wants one also,but is too stuborn to get one along with a jug of blackhorn powder.. so I have to work on someone.
You got a great rifle, I am sure it is going to give you years of pleasure. Just pay attention to them allen head bolts on the bottom and make sure they go back in the same hole they came out of.
