Default Genesis scoped

Well I ran back down to Cabela's today and got a Nikon Prostaff 3-9X scope with BDC for the Genesis. Looks good on it. (Now I have a scope on that rifle that is 150% more than what I paid for the rifle.) Nice package thoughfor $250 plus tax- even though it is an inline......

I bet that is going to be a great shooter. All I have is a 1X on mine. And I am impressed as the devil with mine. Keep us posted how it shoots..

Will do Dave. And while I was in, what the wife affectionately calls "The Man's Room", I got to looking at my MLs on the rack. I took down the one with the Custom Curly maple stock and the GM barrel and the fiber optic sights and started rooting through my 'junk' box. I found a set of T/C sights and the holes on the rear sights matched upso i took the fiber optics off the barrel and put the steel T/C sights on. It was just something about that stock and the fiber optic sights that didn't go together. Now it looks better.

Here's my lineup for this year...

Top: Genesis / 4-12x Alpen Scope
Middle: Triumph / 3-9x Nikon
Bottom: Savage ML11 / 4-16x Bushnell 4200 Elite

The Genesis and the Triumph will be shooting 110gnv BH / 300gn Remington .458 HP @ 1875fps zeroed at 150yds.

My savage will will be shooting 67gn H4198 / 300gn Barnes Original .458 @ 2400 fps zeroed at 200 yds.

They're all ready to go come the 15th , and so am I.

I guess there will be no pictures.

My supervisor is coming in to drop off some stuff for me. I hope he soon gets here and tells me I can leave so I can get the Genesis out for its virgin run.

When the Yukon first came out, I almost bought one. I looked at it at a store and when I played with the cam it came off the rifle in my hand. Needless to say, no sale was made. And that haunted me for a long time about the rifle. When the Genesis was on the market, the same thing as a Yukon, all I could think of was cam coming off in my hand. Then listening to some of the other people talking about them, you and Underclocked, I decided a stainless steel one was in my future. Besides the price was too good...

Panhandle - your picture.

I'm going over to the gunshop today and retrieve my Genesis if it hasn't sold. I might need it.


ps: NatchezSS has a pretty good price on the Genesis again. Not as good as the Cabela's sale, but not bad either.

I guess your magic or I'm not. I tried to post this picture the same way I post on other forums but no luck. What's the secret?
thanks much....
