I'd love to have it dipped but don't know if that will happen any time soon ($$$).

The Geissele is definitely in my future, but I"m glad I'll have the time to get use to shooting this rig first with the DD trigger group (as a walking stick anyway).

As far as P-dogs (for me it's ground squirrels - SoCal); I use my .17 HMR for 100-150 yards & my .204 for 200-300 yard shots............both bolt guns with Harris bi-pods.

Thanks again for your input !
