Bob,
I've always been lucky and my Dad (a Marine) had great taste in Rifles and left my brother and I some good ones.
I understand what you were trying to do and the fact is before you posted your thread I was going to post that Gunblast video about the rifle. you beat me to the draw lol.
it just seemed like y'all were saying you need all that stuff to make long range hits. while every advantage you can get is helpful I didn't think it was necessary.
for that style of rifle i'd say it's a winner!
