thanks for the fast replies, $$ burning a hole in my pocket....'bout decided on the optima in 26" length.....but like the man said....i would be 3" closer to the target...gotta love it.
read that winchester post and just not sure.....only other choice for me was the winchester apex....with the $50 rebate...around $179.....seems like a good buy even if winchester does not make the thing in their plant....thanks again. .50 cal. for sure....right?
